World of Color - Week 5
Theme – This week we will continue our Unit 4 of the Owl, World of Color. During this unit students will interact with colors explore topics such as color mixing, stains, fading, camouflage, and color patterns. Students will learn that color can be found in nature, that color can carry information, that paints and dyes are used to color things, colors can be mixed to make new colors and that sun and washing can make colors fade.
*Also, we are planning ahead for our upcoming unit. If you have any “beautiful junk”, we would appreciate it. Here’s what we need: shiny gift wrap, metal jars, plastic screw top container lids (peanut butter, coffee jars, etc), small metal cans, transparent and opaque jars or containers.
Orange is the color of the week.
Please have your child wear the color Orange or bring in an Orange item on Thursday.
