On the study of colors

Our new unit, that we just started yesterday, is on colors. We picked up the Colors Preschool Theme Kit from the library, at Bear's request, and have explored some of the books and materials already. I have a few good ideas for projects....but more on that later.

We are going to begin our unit with an images project on colors, which will be this blog post. Bear is on my lap, and together we will create a post with all sorts of images of different colors. Kind of like a scrapbook page. He is searching for the images and saving them, so as well as a lesson on colors and visual information, he is getting some practice at spelling, typing skills, creating a new folder, saving images, etc.

There will be more of an explanation later, but for now, here are some splashes of color to brighten your day! Here we go........

MAGENTA:

CHARTREUSE:

That is all for today; more colors tomorrow. In the meantime, we'll be checking out this site, which has some basic color familiarity in four languages, along with a couple of other topics. One of their color games in Spanish was really good; it has the kids spell out the color names in Spanish, in a very easily accessible way.
