Coloring

objective:
a. practice colors
b. follow directions
c. work independently



Points to Remember:
1. Some children like to follow directions and others prefer to do things there own way. Of course, both are important.
2. Let your child know that when they go to school, they need to be able to follow directions.
3. If your child really wants to do it her own way, print two sheets. The first one follow the directions, the second let her color as she wants.

Lesson:
1. Print the Coloring Sheet

2. I color over the word "pink" with the color pink. Set out the 7 colors that she will need.

3. Make sure your child know to color number 1 pink, number 2 brown, etc.

4. Let your child color independently and show you her work when she is finished.

Modification: 1. You can do this with any worksheet or preschool coloring book. Brooke does not like to follow directions so this is a skill we work on quite often. I would rather deal with the tears and tantrums at home than have her behave poorly at school. 2. I choose a farm animal sheet since our Nursery Rhyme of the Week is Little Boy Blue which has some farm animals in the rhyme.
