LITTLE BLUE AND LITTLE YELLOW

Dressing up is one of our new addition the new to our class. They are having fun, Aren’t they cute?
We read the book “ Little blue and little yellow, by:Leo Lionni.” We used the context to develop many activities for the month of March. Yellow and blue marble painting, easel painting, yellow playdough for a few days, then blue playdough. When the colors were combined it gave us different shades of green.
Yellow and blue playdough squeezed together made a bright green.
During circle time all the kiddos had a chance to hold little blue and little yellow, as they squeezed and rolled both colors together they were very excited about the different shades of greens.
We made a beautiful rainbow by Using SKITTLES and warm water. We placed the skittles around a plate and followed the rainbow color sequence. We added warm water and watch the skittles bleed out their colors. We also learned the song “ Red, orange , yellow, green, blue, purple that makes the rainbow bright, bright, bright.
They were impressed!
Mixed glue, borax and food color is fun and messy, the Gak was very sticky,
Froot loop necklaces, pegs and markers are creative activities to encourage fine motor skills
The children are growing up so fast, they have learned to ride the scooters , bikes, build, follow traffic signals around the bike path and rake the leaves and collect them in a pile to be placed into the trash.

Engagement, persistence, independence, shared use of space and materials are some of the many social emotional developments our preschoolers are exposed to.
