We spent the first half hour practicing handwriting. I used the overhead projector and demonstrated proper letter formation of each lowercase and uppercase letter, then students wrote the letters. I collected their papers to see who needs more practice. I taught the "color wheel" today. I gave each student a paper plate and showed them where to place the three primary colors. Next, they mixed colors to show what colors are created by combining the primary colors. I think they enjoyed it. Students read their mini book, In Winter, to three classmates. In the afternoon, we read two more Mo Willems books: Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus and Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late. They really enjoyed those stories. I took students step-by-step through a line drawing lesson in which they drew a full body portrait. Next, they outlined their sketch in black marker and then filled in the drawing with watercolor paints. They turned out really cute. On Monday, they will add words to their pictures, describing the clothes they are wearing (in the painting). Have a great weekend!
