Craft Lesson - Many Colored Days

I wanted to do something different than just working on colors. My lesson is more for grades 3-5. One my favorite aspects of the book, besides the illustrations, was the use of strong verbs. He used verbs such as kick, jump, and flap. This lesson would not only be entertaining, but also teach grammar.

Read the story to the children. Then discuss the different moods and days. I would like them to create their own versions. They could change the colors and use different verbs. We could focus on nouns and adjectives as well. They would create their story then paint pictures to match their own many colored days.
