About This Lesson
Listen and read along while Allie Lamb reads aloud A Day with No Crayons by Elizabeth Rusch. What a wonderful well read story. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Can you imagine a word without crayons? Read and find out what happens.

Drag & Drop activity for purple, brown and yellow. Students match color words to the color and the color words to objects. It is part of a bigger unit, but I am slow puling it all together. In light of the times, I decided to upload so it might be used if needed. Color words are powerful descriptive and emotive words to talk with kids about. It is important for kids and families to talk and colors and the objects in our world are important things to share information about, There are many wonderful books that celebrate colors. Color words can be a wonderful way to teach early literacy skills using the color word and letter recognition. Families can print the color word cards and work with them at home to sort household objects into colored bags with the color words labeled outside. Rainbows of color make me happy!
I love working with creative art activities and would most likely try to look for found objects to create a collage painting. The main character begs for a more tactile type art project involving finger painting and possible science of natural sources of color for paint.
I included the link for all the books that are read at the Storyline Online website. This book suggest talking about social and emotional topics. This is so important that we talk about the story and share. I will try to share these additional resource links soon.
