The authors have picked out delightful stories that incorporate a pattern of color throughout. And then they have given you a host of teaching activities to extend and vary these pieces of literature with your students. The Color Box theme can be used as a pick and choose language arts resource or a full-blown theme lasting up to six weeks. All the activities presented are tied to well-known pieces of children's literature: Brown Bear, Brown Bear; Rain; Freight Train; A Rainbow of My Own, and more!
