THEME:The World Of Color
In Unit 4, children learn about color. Color names, color mixing, stains, fading, camouflage, and color pattern are just a few topic covered. Through the Story Time books, children will hear about a dog that stains his white coat, a lion who paints pictures, a boy who gets special letters from his grandmother, and a rabbit who wants to buy a special shirt. In addition to listening to stories, children will increase their vocabulary and observe and explore color and patterns directly. They will continue to learn about letters and sounds,including rhyming words, and they will participate in music, poetry, mathematics, science and art activities.
