Snack: Goldfish Crackers and Watermelon
Book: Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni
Over the last few days, several children have had the opportunity to explore watercolor. The children have been noticing some things about color in the studio and have started linking it to other areas inside and outside.
While playing in the block area with colored blocks...
Suzette: Red and blue make purple.
Birk: Yellow and blue make green.
During Morning Meeting...
Katie: If you would like to share your favorite color or some other favorite things I will pass you the magical talking wand and you can take your turn. I will go first. My favorite color is blue. I love bread and butter and playing volleyball.
Harlow: Orange is my favorite color. I also like ice cream and playing with my Nash Nugget.
Mia: Blue is my favorite color and I like red watermelon.
Ellie: Blue and pink are my favorites!
Harry: I like fire colored weapons.
Suzette: I like tacos.
Izzy: I love the color pink, playing doll house and toast.
Birk: Red and blue are my favorites and I like to eat tacos and pizza. I like to play with all my toys at home.
Zoe: I like purple, pancakes, and soccer.
Jack: Green, goldfish crackers and playing with my toy garbage truck.
Hattie: My favorite thing is doggie and pink.
Carly: Pink and yellow are my favorites and I like to read books.
Lucy: I like pink and blue and goldfish crackers.
Sigrid: I love pizza and playing pretend.

Eloise: I love pink and purple. I like to eat mac n cheese and playing princess.
Lauren: I like pink and Remy my dog.
While painting and listening to music in our outdoor studio...
Lucy: Look!
Sigrid: That's a shadow.
Katie: How could we use this shadow?
Sigrid: We could save it by painting it. I will paint your shadow.
Suzette: I want to trace my own, see.
Hattie: I'm going to trace my foot shadow.
Katie: I notice you are using the brush to paint on the rocks. I wonder what will happen?
Lily: Let's do an experiment.
Lucy: Yes, like Katie talked about this morning with the little blue and little yellow. We can watch our rocks. We can see if the paint mixes with the rock.
Eloise: I've done an experiment before to see if dogs cry. Did you know they cry out their noses? Let's do it. Let's experiment. We need to leave our rocks out and check on them later.
Katie: Where should we leave them and how will we know what's happened?
Eloise: If the paint is there we will see it.
Lily: If the paint is mixed the rock will change colors.
Lucy: Maybe the paint might not, so maybe we should check on it more than one time in case it goes away too fast. Let's check after lunch and Katie will you leave them out so we can check them again tomorrow?
Katie: That sounds like a good plan!
(After lunch)
Lily: It didn't work. The rocks are dry and the paint is gone!
While dancing to music with instruments and scarves in our outdoor studio...
Mia: I can see you through this scarf, but you are a new color. It changes your skin to purple.
Zoe: I love this song! The Little Mermaid is my favorite.
Izzy: I can fly like a beautiful rainbow butterfly!
Harry: I like to dance to the Mulan battle song.
Carly: This is pretty colors.
Lily: I can move my body like I did with my paint brush.
