Friends and Colors

We are continuing with our theme of friends and colors this week and of course we are creating some cute art to go with it.

Yesterday we made pictures of our friends out of construction paper and crayons. I think the simplicity of this project is what makes it so cute. Each student is able to add their own little personality to it so none look alike.

 

For math we are learning all about our colors. I have been using the book "Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes" written by Eric Litwin. The students love the song that comes with the book;  we sing it all the time in class. I use the book as a transition into colors and also use it for extension activities.

So today using Pete's shoes, we created a favorite color graph. The students absolutely loved showing off their favorite color and also comparing the data with their friends. It was a big hit activity.
