Thurs May 3rd- colors review day

This day started with scissor practice. Their practice pages are getting longer to work on their skills. Once they completed that, they played with big blocks, animals and small puzzles. After clean up, the students reviewed the colors and we counted to 25- zig sagging along the way. Calendar time, weather and letter time followed with our songs and review. We also started to practice our nursery rhymes for our presentation. Wiggle time, eating snacks and exploring our May books was next on our agenda. Jax shared his show and tell and then worked on our All about me page. Each student colored their page and then we came down to the floor for lesson time with the colors. For our color review day, we first started with reading the book “My world of color”. Once we completed that, we went to the table to color our own version of our world of color. This was a good opportunity to review the colors as they were asked to find them in their baskets of crayons. They colored each item and then went we were completed with the two pages, we came back to our carpets to read the book “The Crayon box that Talked”. It reviews the importance of kindness, working together as a team and shows the beauty of colors around us. Afterwards, I read “Colors” book and we had the chance to see many things in our world that are certain colors. We reviewed with student participation what each color was. Then we had the chance to do our color wheel science experiment at the table. The kids were very patient as I had to prep each color wheel at the table with the colors on the wheel. I mixed the liquid watercolors with a toothpick. Once each color was complete, I placed the paper towel on top to absorb the colors we had created. After we did that, I reviewed each color and what secondary color it had created together. For letter time, we colored our Z page from Tuesday and we sang our Z song and got our z stamp as we reviewed and were finished for the week
