ASL	We learned how to sign blue & yellow.
Rhyming Concept	I printed off two images of blue and yellow. The kids had to figure out which pictures rhymed with blue and yellow. I used glue, zoo, shoe, marshmallow, and jello.
Feelings	We identified what colors can be matched with feelings. Sad(blue)/Happy(yellow)
