Colors of the Rainbow! Colors unit for Pre-K, Kindergarten, & 1st Grade

In our classroom, we study colors by doing an in-depth study of rainbows. The kids love it, because rainbows are exciting and interesting! It's always exciting to see a rainbow, no matter how old you are. In this unit packet, I have included activities for reading, writing, social studies, science, and art.

The colors highlighted in this unit plan include red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, black, white, and gray.

The reading/writing portion includes:
-Student Colors Workbook (1 page per color, see above for color list)
-Colors Anchor Charts
-Colors Book List
-Informational Writing Templates (at 3 different writing levels)

The social studies portion includes:
-Nutrition activity (eating all the colors)

The math portion includes:
-Patterning (making patterns with the colors in rainbows)

The science portion includes:
-"Create a Rainbow" science experiment (instructions and note-taking templates)

The art portion includes:

Most of the file is in black & white so that the students can do the coloring themselves. The anchor charts come in color and B&W.

Many of the activities/worksheets in this unit have various versions. Every teacher is different, so you can pick the version of the worksheets that works best for you and your students.
