  • Explore making shades of a color by mixing a paint color with white and black paint
  • Discuss the photographic book Is It Red? Is It Yellow? Is It Blue? by Tana Hoban, and identify colors in the environment
  • Revisit the video Between the Lions “Spicy Hot Colors,” and connect colors in the illustrations to colors in the photographic book Is It Red? Is It Yellow? Is It Blue?
  • Continue to recognize and clap out syllables in names 
  • Be introduced to the letter “Yy,” and the word yellow
