February 9th - 11th

We hope you have a wonderful long weekend celebrating family!
We will see your child back at school on Tuesday, February 17th.

What did Students Do This Week?

This week, students explored the concept of time. Through mini-lessons and hands-on math stations, they practiced reading and setting times on both analog and digital clocks. They also explored a.m. and p.m, as well as telling time with a 24-hour clock.

Math (Time) Learning Outcomes

• I can look at relationships between seconds, minutes, and hours
• I can tell time using analog and digital clocks
• I can relate minutes past the hour to minutes until the next hour (e.g. It is 6:45 pm or quarter to 7:00 pm)
• I can describe time of day as a.m. or p.m. within a 12-hour day
• I can express time of day using the 24 hour time

Possible Questions to Ask Your Child

• What is the difference between a.m. and p.m.?
• How many minutes are in an hour? How many seconds are in a minute?
• If it is 4:45 p.m., how else would you say this time?
• What time is it? (using an analog and digital clock)
• If it is 4:15 a.m, how would you say that in 24-hour time? What about 1:25 p.m.?
