Sunday, March 30, 2008 Festin-Baybay: Color Coding By Tita Dulce Festin-Baybay That's right!
THAT’S right, Kidsters! Did you know that one of the best ways to organize your room, your closets, your notebooks, and other materials, is by color-coding?
This is how it works. When you want to easily find subjects in your notebook, what do you do? Do you fold the paper on the page of the topic or do you put book marks?
What you can do is to put those colorful post-its and write the topic of the page that you are marking. If the subject is about math, you can color it red. If the subject is about science, you can use the green post it.
Now, let’s go to your closets. You can arrange your T-shirts according to color. The white ones, which you use everyday for school, can be placed in the shelf that is easy for you to reach. If you have T-shirts for sports, usually colored blue, you can put these in another shelf.
The purpose of all these is to make things easier for you to find what you need to wear right away instead of making the closet topsy-turvy and untidy.
Did you know that colors are so important in our lives? These can make us happy or sad.It sets the mood. The color of your room also plays an important part with how you feel.
Happy colors are yellow, red, green, and white. Sad colors are blue, purple and black. Orange is the color of rescuers. This brings me to the question, what is your favorite color?
Mine is blue because I love to look at the sky with all its clouds. Did you know that the use of color is also a way of making things easier to find and look at? Just look around you.
So Kidsters, this summer, start fixing your things, and use colors to make it easy for you. Happy coloring!
