During our small groups today the children enjoyed learning the colors of the rainbow. Our focus this week will be on rapid recognition of color words. During reading groups we were introduced to many color words in our reading book, Birds. We used the initial sound in each word to determine each color. This would be a great time for you to add the basic color words to your sight word practice during nightly homework (red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple).
The kids then had a ball reading, writing then stamping each color sight word into their own booklet. We will work on these booklets this week and bring them home on Thursday.
To help cement what we learned today we played a game of color matching using our color sight word cards and our colorful sorting bowls from the math center.
