Getting Started
In the second week of the Color unit, children will continue to explore color in the world around them. They further their understanding that a color can have many different shades as they mix shades of color with paints. During this week children will:
- Continue to identify colors in their environment
- Begin to understand that certain colors are used to communicate specific messages
- Explore making shades of a color by mixing a paint color with white and black paint
- Discuss the photographic book Is It Red? Is It Yellow? Is It Blue? by Tana Hoban, and identify colors in the environment
- Revisit the video Between the Lions “Spicy Hot Colors,” and connect colors in the illustrations to colors in the photographic book Is It Red? Is It Yellow? Is It Blue?
- Continue to recognize and clap out syllables in names
- Be introduced to the letter “Yy,” and the word yellow
