Students made clocks with moving hands today. They drew faces on them to remember that the part with the numbers is the clock's face. We learned some vocabulary words from the book Julius, Baby of the World: constantly, insulting, and cleaver. Mrs. Mayes, my reading coach, came in to teach a lesson about details. Our ultimate goal is to get students to use details in their writing, but the way we teach them is to add details to their drawings. Students drew snowman pictures and were encouraged to make their drawing unique and to add lots of details. For art, we did a paper weaving activity. In it, students had to pay attention to detail--the way the pattern alternated.
