Brown Bear's Colors

Daily Question:  Do you know your colors?

Toys:  Color puzzles (red, yellow, and blue), Buckaroo Games, 

Snack: Jelly sandwiches, fruit snacks, granola bars, Oreo cookies, and marshmallow ghosts.

Kayson helped bring snack and told us the marshmallow ghosts say, "bah, bah, BOO!

Language Arts:  We had a lot of fun reading and then retelling the story of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?  We then played a memory game with the animals and colors to see if we could remember what animal and what color came next.

The Primary Colors

I Can Sing a Rainbow* by Arthur Hamilton

Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow too.

Listen with your eyes,
Listen with your ears,
and sing everything you see,
I can sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow,
sing along with me.

Red and yellow and pink and green,
Purple and orange and blue,
I can sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow too!

*Parents, please note that the true colors of a rainbow are ROYGBIV: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. (We also point out the silly line that talks about "listening with your eyes" and explain what that lyrical license means--we are "looking" for colors.)
