We have been exploring color. 

It fills our world.

Our toys are colorful.

There is color in our garden.

There are shades of colors, some are pale and some are bold.

Clara: WE, all the girls, have blue! spoons.

We have been working hard to create color books. 

Each color gets it's own page. 

Morah Katie: Last week, we searched for red, yellow and blue in the classroom. 

They are very special colors. They are called primary colors. 

By mixing the 3 primary colors, we can create many other colors.
