Color Week(s)

 

We just wrapped up our two week study of colors-- We started the kick off with Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See by Bill Martin Jr. and learned about a new color each day.  We even learned how to spell our color words and had some taste tests!  Such a fun and exciting time and we know all of our colors now (gasp)!  Here is some of the fun we had.

 

 

Our very own Clifford The Big Red Dog for Red Day

 Everyone working hard on our Brown Bear Books (they will be coming home this week in our R.E.D. folder for your child to read to you)

Green Day was a snack day!!!  We enjoyed these sweet gems (found them at Sam's Club and had to try them) They taste just like cotton candy!  YUMMY -- it was a "party in our mouth"- out of the mouths of babes.

Purple Day we read about Harold and the Purple Crayon and then made our very own purple crayon drawings.  Just like Harold ours had to include the moon and our self! We hung these in the hall along with our writing of where we went with the purple crayon!

PINK DAY!!!!!!  This was by far my most favorite day-- yes I know pink is my favorite color but seriously this is a wonderful book and I have even seen it on stage as a play with my daughter and it is sooo cute!  You can check it out on YouTube as I do not see that it is coming to Ohio anytime soon.  Pinkalicious on stage!  We then made a pink drink (strawberry lemonade) -- yes Pinkalicious has a lemonade stand too- in another!  We enjoyed our drink with our snack!

We learned how to play Candyland in centers this week.  Let's just say that is a hit and we will be playing it a lot more!  Such a great game to practice our colors and learning how to get along and share.

We finally wrapped up our week(s) with reading my kindergarten favorite (Thanks Mrs. Karl) It Looked Like Spilled Milk.  We then did our own version of spilled milk and created our own creations.  These kids crack me up (mine looked just like a rib cage and lungs and they thought that was sooo funny that I was a magician and could make an xray of my body so quick).  We finished by working on writing and telling what our creation looked like but wasn't.  These will be displayed until the end of the week be on the look out for them to come home on Friday.
