Colors of the Week...

As previously mentioned, Alexander had Color Week at school with every day representing a new color.

For each day there were different activities, books, snacks and crafts all related to the color of the day. They also asked if the kids could also dress in the color of the day to help teach the kids the different colors.

Monday = Purple (I've already apologized for the outfit for today...Yes, I'm aware that I sent my child to school, out in public, in lavender sweat pants that I bought in the girls section. At least his shirt was brown & from the boy section. When Dan was getting him dressed that morning, he almost ignored my chosen outfit and put jeans on as he forgot about the color of the day and thought I had lost my mind. And there was a little girl in his class that had the exact same sweatpants on. OH MY.)
For Monday, they played with purple playdough, read "Harold the Purple Crayon", had purple grapes, and made purple lolipops and also used blue & red paint to make purple.


Tuesday = Red
On Tuesday, they read "Spots Colors", had red apples, colored Elmo, and made different shapes out of red construction paper


Wednesday = Green
On Wednesday, they played with green foam blocks, painted with green rollers & the dot markers, ate green grapes & sang "The Green Grasswall Around"

Thursday = Yellow
For Thursday, they Read "Yellow & Yummy", made paper plates into the sun, colored Big Bird & had yellow bananas

Friday = Orange
On Friday, they played with orange pompoms, read "Baby's First Colors", colored & glued tigers, and made different shapes with orange objects and had peaches for snack

Color Week...

This upcoming week is "Color Week" at school to help the kids learn their colors. Seeing how I'm a 'color' person and relate everything to colors, this is perfect. I wouldn't necessarily have picked the specific order of colors for each day, but it's not my color week.

School has asked if each child would be able to be dressed in the color of the day to help with the color-theme. Each day they will do different things in association to the color-of-the-day. They have different craft projects, books, etc. These are the colors we have for the week:

Monday = Purple
Tuesday = Red
Wednesday = Green
Thursday = Yellow
Friday = Orange

I think overall it will be cute & good for the kids. I'll do what I can to get daily recap/pics of his color-outfit, etc. But let me just say I'm sorry in advance. When we all look back at his Monday/Purple outfit years from now and wonder "what the bloody heck did she dress him in?"...we'll have to remember it was color week.
