Send children home with a photograph of their exploration and remind them to share with families what they learned about colors as they explored outdoors.

Give children a green sticker to wear as they leave and remind them to look for things that are green on their way home or at home.

If children ask to bring in a green object, encourage them to do so. End the day with "Our Good-bye Song."

Our Good-bye Song
(sung to the tune of “Mary Had a Little Lamb”)
Now it’s time to say good-bye,
Say good-bye,
Say good-bye.
Now it’s time to say good-bye,
Now it’s time to go.

We played and learned a lot,
Learned a lot,
Learned a lot.
We played and learned a lot,
But now it’s time to go.

So until we meet again,
Meet again,
Meet again,
So until we meet again,
We say good-bye to you.
