Brown Bear Book

We read, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See, By Bill Martin Jr. and now we will make our own version.   This is a great activity to focus on colors.  This is the heart page and we will do it centers time.  I will post more pictures as we do the rest of the book and you can get a copy of the masters for the book here:  What do you see?

Color Class Books

We made a color book for every color of the rainbow.  For the green books, we cut toilet paper tubes at the bottoms to form flower shapes and stamped our pages.  For the red they drew something red.  For other colors we used magazine cutouts, construction paper color shapes, q-tip painting, etc.  Then I bind them all and the kids look through them when they are finished with a center. 

We love making class books!  The kids cut apart their names and glued them back on this page.  I made a ton of copies of their first day of school pictures on the copy machine for various projects.  We used them here and then they each counted how many letters they have in their name.  I put this in our library center and the kids love counting the letters to check our work.
