Week of 10/16

10/20/2017

 
Dear Rainbow Families,
 
We had an exciting week in the Rainbow Room!  Below is an update on what your children learned this week at Montclare. Our theme this week was colors.
 
Books we read:
  • Little Blue and Little Yellow, by Leo Lionni
  • Mouse Paint, by Ellen Stoll Walsh
  • They Crayon Box that Talked, by Shane Derolf and Michael Letzig 
 
Songs we sang:

             Color Mixing: 
             When you mix red and blue
             It makes purple
             When you mix red and blue
             It makes purple
             When you mix these two you’ll see
             A New color magically
             When you mix red and blue
             It makes purple
             (same for red and yellow and then blue and yellow)

             Color Chant:
             When I say red put your hands on your head
             When I say blue put your hands on your shoe
             When I say black put your hands on your back
             When I say brown move your hands all around
             When I say green wipe your face real clean
             When I say pink just think think think
             What I say white squeeze your fingers real tight
 
Places we went:
  • We played in the gym and rode bikes
  • We pretended to be animals in movement
  • We window painted in art
 
Classroom Activities:
  • We learned about color mixing.  We sat down and watched what happens when you mix yellow and red, or red and blue, or blue and yellow.  Then we sang our color mixing song.  After we learned about color mixing the children picked the two colors of their choice, we painted one hand one color and the other hand the other color.  After making two hand prints the children mixed their hands together to see what happened.
 
Theme next week:
  • Halloween
 
Reminders:
  • Parent teacher conferences November 13th.
  • Don’t forget to label your children’s coats.

Have a great weekend!
 
Erica and Lory
