Using water colors for our Phonics lesson
We used how two colors can make one brand new color and compared that to digraphs when teaching phonics. Two letters sounds when brought together make one brand new sound.Students explored how colors when put together can make a brand new color. We compared that to our letter sounds / digraphs. /ch/ /sh/ /ph/ /th/ / wh/.We used
Yellow and Blue = Green
Red and Blue = Purple
Black and White= Gray
Red and Yellow= Orange
Brown and White = Tan
The kids loved learning about the new sounds and incorporating art was such a bonus. This is an activity that will really make a mark and students will definitely retain the ideas. A great opportunity to teach a new skill.
