The Colours of Nature

A very special thanks to all those who brought in items from nature to our class this week.  The children were eager to explore these natural items.  As we have continued our inquiry on colour, we discussed the different colours we saw in the nature items.  We have been practising sorting skills in math and some students showed an interest in sorting the items into groups (e.g., flowers, feather, pine cones, rocks, etc.).

We decided to add paper, clipboards and oil pastels to our "colours of nature" center.  The children got very busy drawing pictures of the beautiful nature items.
