We introduce the theme with a picture of the person, name and what they were most known for. Each day we review the pictures by naming them and I ask the children if they remember 1 thing about the person.

The children painted with white paint on blue paper and added glitter, Hand Print Wreath- we used black, brown and white paint to represent all skin tones and stamped hands all around a paper plate, Crayon – the children glued various crayons on crayon shape paper, marble paint- we used marbles and red paint on white paper to marble paint and resemble a baseball and Friday, we will make a traffic light by gluing red, yellow and green circles on paper.
