• Read this!  "Colors Passing Through Us" by Marge Piercy ​
• Select this!  From the coloring pages provided, select one
  • ​Utilize as many colors as possible to color your picture--one the back, write down the names of the crayons from the box of 96 you use to color your picture. 
• Try this!  After you color, use the quote on the back of the sheet and the list of colors to write your own poem modeled after Piercy's.
