I've been creating playlists on my iPod with my thousands of
songs. I'm not affiliated in any way with iPod, Apple,
etc. I'm just a happy customer that highly advises
creating a playlist!
I'm trying to figure out how to share the playlists that I
create with you (if you are of the iPod mentality!).

Motivation/Introduction ~ First Day of Theme:
Benchmark Skills:
Intro -
Read My Crayons Talk, by Reeve
Lindbergh. Pull out a set of crayons and ask the
children to talk about what each color reminds them of.
Make a word list for each color on the corresponding color
of paper.Color Walk:
Give each child a labeled colored paper square and have them
walk around the room/yard/neighborhood and find that color.
When they find the color (or at a designated time), they
trade color swatches with a friend and search for that
color. For ease, give as many colors as there are
children (using colors like light green, light blue, dark
green, dark blue, silver, gold for more color options or to
enhance the game for children who already know most of their
colors. |
