INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVE (Lesson Objective*)

After listening to Hello, Red Fox, students will construct a color wheel by gluing 6 colored slices of
construction paper in the correct order on their white paper wheel.

STANDARDS AND INDICATORS

Standard 1: Creating, Performing, and Participating in the Arts
Visual Arts 1.c.
Understand and use the elements and principles of art (line, color, texture, shape) in order to
communicate their ideas.
Indicator: This will be evident when students use primary and secondary colored construction paper
slices to create a color wheel.
College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Speaking and Listening (CCR):
Comprehension and Collaboration
CCR Listening-Speaking SL 1.b.
Participate and continue in multiple exchanges of a conversation about kindergarten topics with peers
and adults in small and larger groups.
Indicator: This will evident when the class discusses how to create their color wheels.

MOTIVATION (Engaging the learner(s)*)

Teacher will throw colorful confetti squares in the air.

MATERIALS

Confetti
Book
Glue
Crayons
Slices of colored construction paper
Round white paper wheels
Stickers
Paper plates

STRATEGIES (Learning Strategies*)

Direct Instruction: The teacher will read the book Hello, Red Fox, to introduce the color wheel to the

students.
Group Discussion: The teacher and students will have a group discussion about colors and the color
wheel.
Independent Work: Students will work independently gluing slices of construction paper onto their
white circles. Students will also work independently when collecting items to form a color wheel on
their desks and when creating their color wheel crown.

ADAPTATIONS (Exceptionality*)

The student who is color blind will have the colors labeled on the construction paper slices.

DIFFERENTIATION OF INSTRUCTION
Tier 1: Students will glue colored slices of construction paper in the correct order to white paper
wheels. Students will be provided with a picture of a color wheel as an example.
Tier 2: Students will glue colored slices of construction paper in the correct order to white paper
wheels.
Tier 3: Students will glue colored slices of construction paper in the correct order to white paper
wheels. Students will have to color in their own slices of white construction paper, using the correct
colors.

DEVELOPMENTAL PROCEDURES

Students will listen to the book Hello, Red Fox, by Eric Carle. (What color is the fox on the
cover of the book? What is your favorite color?)
Students will discuss colors and the color wheel. (What are primary colors? What are
secondary colors? How can you make secondary colors? Where are these colors located on a
color wheel? Why are color wheels made?)
Students will be given white circles and colored slices of construction paper. (What shape is the
color wheel? What shape are the slices? How many slices do you have?)
Students will begin to construct their color wheels. (How do the colored slices stick to the white
circle? What color should we start with? What color would come next?)
Students will keep their color wheels on their desks as an example for the next activity. (When
can you look at your color wheel? How can it help you to form color wheels using different
objects?)

ASSESSMENT (artifacts* and assessment [formal & informal]*)

Students will construct a color wheel by gluing slices of construction paper in the correct order to white
paper wheels.

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
Each student will walk around the room and collect six different colored items, one item for each color

of the color wheel. The students will then place their items in a circle on their desk to mimic a color
wheel. They will be able to use the color wheel they made previously as an example.

FOLLOW-UP: DIRECT TEACHER INTERVENTION AND ACADEMIC

ENRICHMENT
Direct Teacher Intervention: The teacher and student will name and point to each color on a color
wheel. The teacher will then assist the student in placing a colored block on the corresponding color
wheel slice.
Academic Enrichment: The students will create a color wheel crown. The teacher will pierce the
middle of a paper plate and cut six slices of the plate leaving the brim intact. The students will be
allowed to color in and use stickers to decorate each slice with the appropriate color. They will have
their color wheel on their desk to use as an example. The teacher will then fold up each slice, and the
students could wear their crown for the rest of the day.
