Mouse Paint

For my SLO (part of Educator Effectiveness), my goal is to have second graders able to identify the primary colors and know which primary colors when mixed together create the secondary colors.Students took a baseline test of color mixing so I could know how much they knew before the color mixing lesson. After the baseline test we did a Smart Board activity to reveal which primaries when mixed together make the secondaries. We then read the book Mouse Paint.  For the project students used primary water colors to mix the secondaries for their backgrounds. They then made three mice from construction paper. It was a quick and easy color mixing lesson:)
