Our Version of the Harlem Shake
I hope you enjoyed that little video. Our students have been working so hard, Mrs. Adkins and I felt they needed a little break. So we decided to have a little fun and get some of our wiggles out.
Today's Assignment:
When we return from vacation, we will be starting a math unit on telling time. To get ready for our first lesson, I am suggesting watching the two videos that I have posted below. Following the videos there are directions for making your own clock to practice telling time on your own.

Make a paper plate clock:
What you need:
a plain paper plate
markers
paper
scissors
glue stick
a two prong paper fastener or paper clip
If you have a printer, you can print the file to get the numbers and hands for the clock, Then all you have to do is cut them out and glue them on.

Step 1: Write the numbers on your clock (or glue them). Start with 12 at the top and 6 on the bottom. Then write the 3 all the way on the left and 9 on the right.
Step 2: Write or glue the remaining numbers in between the 12, 3, 6, and 9.
Step 3: Cut out two "hands" or arrows, making sure one is longer than the other. Color the long hand red and the short hand blue.
Step 4: Use the paper fastener to attach the hands to the center of the clock. Make sure the small hand is on the top. (If you are using a paper clip, you will need to bend the clip and poke it throught the center. Have an adult help with this so you don't get poked.
Practice telling time with your clock.
