Kindergarten Meets Roy G. Biv

Waaaay back at the beginning of the year, kindergarten learned all about the primary colors & what happens when you mix 2 of them together (the secondary colors of course!)  Well our new project revisits our color lesson & adds to it with the introduction of Roy G. Biv!  We talked about putting our colors in "rainbow order" & that to help us remember that order we can remember the silly name of our friend Roy G. Biv - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet (just ask them & see how many remember him!  They amaze me every day with all they DO remember!)  With the introduction of our new buddy Roy, we began working on a rainbow mosaic picture.  We learned that often mosaics are made with small pieces of cut tile or glass &/or mirrors, etc... but we would be making our mosaics with cut paper squares.   They are still a work in progress, but I see some beautiful things happening!  Next up, will be a watercolor painting project to further reinforce rainbow order.
