Poem
Green by Laura Wynkoop
Shamrocks and turtles
And evergreen trees,
Iguanas and pickles
And lettuce and peas.
Snakes and zucchini,
And ivy and ferns,
It's easy to see green
Wherever one turns.
Assessment
To assess the children's learning, consider the following:
l Review the color of the buttons and the numbers 1 to 5.
l Did the children place the correct number of buttons in each section of the
construction paper?
