Lesson Topic
Rainbows, The Spectral Colors: Roy G. Biv, and The Color Wheel
Lesson Outline
It was a great day of learning for Alexandra today! Alexandra already knew her rainbow colors, but today we added a new color: indigo and name: Roy G. Biv. Roy G. Biv is a name to help us remember the colors and their order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. We listened to a song about rainbows and the colors of the rainbow. As the colors were sung, I pointed to a rainbow color template for Alexandra to see and follow along. Alexandra created two rainbows: 1) one using found color with manipulatives: pipe cleaners, poms-poms, and felt with glue and 2) one using markers. Alexandra was able to organize the colors in the proper order and use the manipulatives and markers correctly. On the paper with the manipulatives (pipe cleaners, poms-poms, and felt), Alexandra stamped the name Roy G. Biv using the coordinating color ink for each letter: red ink for "R," orange ink for "o," and so on. This exercise was very hands-on and helped her to understand the spectral colors. Then we made a rainbow of felt hearts following Roy. G. Biv.
With my help, Alexandra made a color wheel using paints and brushes by mixing her primary colors to make secondary colors and then mixing each primary and secondary color to make her intermediate colors. She completed the entire color wheel correctly.
While she had a snack, I read her the book The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds and a dinosaur book she chose.
We finished up the lesson with her painting and decorating a wooden hanging butterfly.
It was a great week! I am very proud of the work and learning that Alexandra accomplished this week!
