While painting, Kaylee said to Mrs. Forsyth, "I want pink paint." Mrs. Forsyth replied, "Well, we have red paint here. What do you think I could add to the red paint to make it pink?" Kaylee excitedly replied, "Blue". As Mrs. Forsyth began to mix the colours together, Kaylee was very excited to see the paint turn to purple. At circle, we decided to ask the class if they could help us figure out how to make pink paint. The students were excited as they made suggestions of colours we could mix with the red. We tried green, yellow, orange and then finally white. The students were really excited, so we decided to put out paint for them to mix and create new colours.
After the paint mixing, the students enjoyed reading and discussing the book "Mouse Paint" by Ellen Walsh.
We have more exciting colour mixing planned for this week.
