Orange Day

We went on a Color Hunt to find lots of  "orange" things around our classroom this month.  The following are some of the things we found: an orange pillow an orange coffee maker orange paper orange pumpkins orange trucks orange cones orange pails orange juice & more. Some of the children founds the same types of things, but we also noticed many of the differences between them (different types of paper & trucks)
Go on a Color Hunt at home to see if you can find at least 5 orange things.  Make a comment on our blog to tell us what you found (no more than 10 things).  We will share and discuss all the different things that everyone found at home.

 Snack Time

 We had orange goldfish and orange carrots for snack one day and orange goldfish and orange clementines another day.  We used our math skills to count 10 goldfish.  If the children want a whole clementine, they can peel it themselves.  The children have all been so good about trying things they don't think they like.  Some times, they end up liking it and asking for more.

   

Lots of orange outfits in the writing center.

More orange in the block area.
