It's Show and Tell Tuesday and I linking up with Stephanie from Forever in Fifth grade!
After reading the book "Mouse Paint," I wanted to have the children do a color mixing activity. Normally, I would have given them the paint and the brushes and let them go at it. But at this point in the year, students are lacking self-control, so I decided this baggie method was safer.
We made a puppet of Pete that reinforces colors.
I made this chart that was inspired by Mrs. Parzych's Kindergarten. It really helps teach the steps to design. My class created traps to catch Little Miss Muffet's spider.
Here are some of the actual traps that students created...
Mat man is made from magnetic pieces on the whiteboard. He was hanging there for our Back to School Night.
Those traps sure do look like fun! I think we should have a kindergarten day like that in middle school! :)
