This week in the Blue Room, we learned that there are all kinds of families.  We read about very large families and very small families, and every size and type of family in between.  Even though all of our families are different, they all have one thing in common: they are all made up of people who love each other.

The children drew their own families on white paper houses while they named all of the different family members.  We played with little color-sorting families in tiny houses, and practiced our parenting skills by taking our babies to the doctor for check-ups.

We have been mixing colors of paint to make new colors, but this week we decided to see what the children would do with white paint on dark blue paper.  This study in contrasts proved to be extremely popular!
