Activity Procedure/Concept Exploration:
Blooms
Taxonomy
We will sit on the carpet and sing our "Hello, how
are you?" song to get the children engaged.
Then, we will read the book "Pot of Gold" which
talks about the color green. We will discuss why
we are talking about the color green, and I will
point to various objects while asking the children
what color it is. Lastly, I will explain to the
children that we are going to do an art project. I
will show them the different shades of green
paper and glue, explaining our materials to
them. I will then call the children over to the
table.
Children will choose a shade of green
construction paper from the stack. Pre-cut scraps
of different shades of green paper will be on the
table for the children to pick from to glue on their
paper. We will talk about the color green and
what it means from the book.

interested in different

cleaned up if messy and the children can continue to play in the center of their
choice.
Assessment:
The teacher will observe the children and document through the use of anecdotal
notes the abilities of the children to listen to the story, discuss their observations, and
apply their knowledge of gluing the different shades of green through the art project.
