Shades of Gray

Today we worked on creating gray paper to use as a gray rain cloud for weather time.  We used our hands to mix black and white paint and rub it all over the paper.  We'll be working on rain drops soon, too!  I've been reading the book Mouse Paint each day.  We've been talking about colors a lot!  In the book the mice get in paint and they dance around on different colors and combine them to make new colors (red and blue make purple).  Yesterday and today we looked through colored lenses at a mouse puppet.  When the lenses overlapped we could see a third color!  So exciting!  Our puppets, Lucy and Ricky, have been talking about paying attention in school this week.  We've been observing what paying attention looks like.

As a special bonus today, on our learning walk we saw a flock of green parrots!
