This week, we will read one of our most loved books, The Colors of Us by Karen Katz. This book tells the story of Lena, a little girl who has a creative and loving way of describing shades of skin. In the book, Lena engineers her exact skin color shade using paint colors red, yellow, black, and white in the right combination.
Like Lena, we are going to engineer our exact skin color using paint colors red, yellow, black, and white. We are going to ask, "How much of each color should I use to make my shade?" We are going to imagine the color combination possibilities. We are going to plan our paint quantities in our STEM notebook. We are going to create and improve our skin shade paint until we get the right color for each of us.
We are going to proudly display "the colors of us" in our classroom and hallway.
