Skin Color

I had a third grade class that was doing a project where they had to trace their hands, find a crayon that matched their skin color, and color them in.

After a while one of the boys came over to me looking very upset as the other kids at his table looked on laughing.

He asked, "Mrs. B, do these brown hands look green to you?"

Sure enough, his hands were colored in bright green.  And after I composed myself, that was when I taught the kids about color blindness.
