Today students learned to tell time to the hour. They learned the names of the parts of an analog clock (face, hour hand, minute hand), and, the best part of all, they used small clocks to show me different times that I called out. We read Eric Carle's "The Grouchy Ladybug." When our big buddies arrived, students painted a half paper plate red and used black thumbprints to make the dots. They also wrote about what makes them grouchy. Their big buddies took pictures of the little kids making a grouchy face to be the head on their paper plate ladybug. I have to say they are adorable!
