Color Day in Kindergarten

Rainbow of Color Graph

Ava and Briana share their favorite color work.

What fun it was for the children to be invited to wear their favorite color to school last Thursday. We were a rainbow of colorful shirts, shorts, and dresses. In math we made a life-sized graph of our favorite colors and then recorded this information on a paper graph which now decorates our bulletin board. We traced and cut out paper dolls to look like us using people colors for our skin. We dressed them to look like us  with our favorite colored clothes. These are now placed around our color graph for the beginning of our unit on "Our Favorite Things" in social studies.

In science we talked about that for our eyes to see colors, there needs to be light. We are discussing what color eyes each of us have and will look in mirrors to study the part of our eyes along with their colors. We will make a second graph of our eye colors to accompany our favorite color graph.

In Spanish we are learning to sing Los Colores with Ms Diaz-LeRoy. In Mrs. Rowe's art class we discussed that if we have the primary colors of red, yellow, blue, black and white, this will allow us to create all the other colors of the palette.

Many of you may have noticed our renditions of Harold and the Purple Crayon hanging up in our classroom.  Coming soon will be an another favorite, Brown Bear Brown Bear. This rythmic pattern book reinforces the color words using a story we can all read to each other.
