We started our unit on colors this week. We learned how to spell the color words: red, yellow, blue, and green! Check out one of the songs we used to remember how to read and spell them.
Using watercolors, tempera paints, tissue, and tear art we made an art project for each color. It was a good way to introduce the different types of media and to continue reading and spelling practice.
For each color, we made color book. We read our first sentences and we were so proud to make our first books! We practiced tracking-pointing to each word while reading and reading from left to right.

One of our favorite projects this week was Pete the Cat! We read the story, Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes and made our own Pete’s wearing our favorite colored shoe. Afterward, each student made his/her own page about Pete for our class book.
Another story we read was called, The Dot by Peter Reynolds. This sweet story is about a girl who said she can’t draw. With a little encouragement, she painted a simple dot which lead her to create more dot paintings. We made our own masterpieces using watercolors!
We continued to explore lines and curves discovering that we use them every day in letters. Letters make words and our names (which we have been practicing quite a lot!). We had fun with an activity called, “Write the Room”! We wore special glasses to find words all over our classroom!
