Little Blue and Little Yellow, A Little Tissue Paper and A Lot of Fun!


This week we read books about the primary colors and how they mix to make other colors. We played Curious George's Mix and Paint game on pbskids.org on the Smartboard.  To wrap up the week, today we read "Little Blue and Little Yellow" by Leo Lionni.  The illustrations are simple circular shapes that tell the story of two best friends who find out that when they hug, they turn green (and cause a lot of confusion for their families).  The students made artwork today using tissue paper cut into circles to retell the story.  The kids really enjoyed this activity and there will be many more fun art activites to come!  Every Friday we will make art in the room to go along with the learning themes of the week.
