Colors {By Briana}
Colors can be light,
Colors can be dark,
Just like the sky in
the night,
Colors can be bold,
Colors can be shiny,
Just like silver and
gold,
Colors can be soft,
Colors can be bright,
Just like a yellow
shining light,
Colors can be
colorful,
Colors can be fun,
Colors make our world
beautiful!
*Stallone Tested and Approved: Some
of Stallone’s favorite lessons here at CM are the ones that have matching and
pairing activities. Today, he had a
blast matching the different color hues.
He really likes red, so he matched those hues first. He was so excited when he would match the
color hues, and it was so fun to watch him during the activity. This is a great lesson to try with your
child!
