So I had a moment of insanity a few weeks back. I gave an assessment to see if my first graders could remember where the colors went on a color wheel and how we make colors and after three weeks of practice... they forgot...
So it was back to the drawing board this week and I came up with an idea I really liked.
We started class by doing a quick PowerPoint on Color that talked about how we make colors and mix colors and how there are colors in the rainbow... If you click on the image below it will link you to the file in my Google drive and you are welcome to download it.
We also did a color worksheet about colors and rainbows. The Colorwheel Became the umbrella and then we had a rainbow attached. We practiced it OVER and OVER and OVER...
At the end of the class I did a check on what they had learned from the day and thankfully most of them really did a great job drawing color wheels, rainbows, or color mixing groups... Hopefully this works out well next week...
They did take the worksheets home and I told them they needed to talk with their parents about what they learned, and what I heard from parents it worked pretty well.
