Pete the Cat!

This is my first year doing Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes by Eric Litwin with my class...and I am SOOO EXCITED!
Learn color words with Pete the Cat and the cat's shoes, with literacy center color activities and color word work learning in Kindergarten and First Grade
We are doing {this} unit on color words, which is a great supplement to the story.

Here are some activities from the pack as well as some freebies found on the web...score!
