The Big Orange Splot!!!

We are still working through our unit on color words.  The kids seem to be having a lot of fun learning the songs to help spell each color word.  If you haven’t already heard them, make sure you ask your kindergartener to sing them for you.  They are constantly running through my head at home.  

Our focus today was orange.  We started with the story, The Big Orange Splot, by Daniel Pinkwater.  In the story, Mr. Plumbean decides it’s okay to be different from his neighbors, and paints his house with lots of crazy colors.  We had a great time designing our dream houses complete with a big orange splot of our own!
