Colors


We had a lot of fun with our special color days. We sang songs about colors, we read books about colors, and we made color books. We mixed colors. We practiced writing and reading color words. We dressed in a special color each day. After learning about all of the colors, we ended with a favorite color day. We made a graph of our favorite colors that day. Purple was the winner.

Big Green Monster Day was one of our favorite color days. We read the story "Go Away Big Green Monster". We reread it using sentences strips and then we retold it using flannel board kit. Then we made our own Big Green Monster headbands.

Nursery Rhyme Party 10-29-10


We dressed at as Nursery Rhyme characters on Friday afternoon. We had a parade to show off our costumes. We went to the preschool rooms, the office, the Galaxy rooms and finished upstairs in 4th grade. After the parade, we each recited our nursery rhyme. Then the party began. We had a cookie snack. We made Hey Diddle, Diddle books. We made star wands for "Twinkle Twinkle LIttle Star". We made thumb print and dot painting spiders for "Itsy Bitsy Spider." We had a "Little Miss Muffet" obstacle course. We played the egg and spoon race game for "Humpty Dumpty." We had a cotton ball drop for "Baa Baa Black Sheep". We had many parent volunteers and helpers too! Thank You! We had a fun party!
