Dear Parents,
We read Leo Lionni’s Little Blue and Little Yellow twice this week. The class was excited when little Yellow and little Blue hugged and turned green. We painted in pairs with one child getting a dollop of blue, and the other a dollop of yellow. When we shared our colors, voila! We examined all our paintings after. On some we could clearly see the yellow and blue, while others were completely green.
We asked the children to complete the sentence, “I like it when…” and wrote down their answers. Responses ranged from playing magnet tiles with mom and dad, to finding red leaves, to falling out of the swing.
We’ve been talking about not leaving friends out of a game and how it feels when you’re the one left out. During one conversation children said if they were left out, it made them feel mad, sad, and bad.
On Friday we read My Tree and Me, Red Sings From Treetops, Our Apple Tree, The Feelings Book, and Plants Are Alive.
We spent the morning watercoloring. It was colorful. We are talking about the leaves turning colors. Our tree is still mostly green with a little bit of yellow. We are finding red leaves that fall from a tree in another yard.
Have a colorful weekend,
Therese
