Kindergarten Colors

When Kindergartners enter elementary schools their minds are blank canvases for us to paint upon. The first lesson I wanted to help my Kindergarten students master was COLOR. You can do so much with color and the students love to dive into any art project that is colorful. Within two weeks my Kindergarten students were able to tell me the primary colors, secondary colors, identify each color by name, and name all six colors in order on the color wheel. Their last assessment that allowed me to evaluate what they retained from our lessons was for the students to create their very own rainbows with all six colors in order. The students learned about the rainbow, used the Smartboard to review the color wheel, and created beautiful representational artwork.
