Grade 1 Windsocks

First graders have been doing lessons that involve color theory all year. We cultivated this knowledge with a fun end-of-the-year rainbow painting that was turned into a windsock. Windsocks are light cylinders that are mounted to show the direction and strength of the wind. Students were able to recognize and demonstrate use of primary colors, secondary colors, and which primaries make which secondaries through painting. First graders were especially excited to have something three-dimensional to bring home. Here are a couple of pictures of the students and their windsocks

Some lessons have been taught to multiple grade levels. Not all schools participate in the same lessons due to budget, materials, student needs, etc. Please leave a comment with praise, questions, or ways to polish.
