Math
Telling Time to the Nearest Minute
Elapsed Time (within an hour)
A.M./P.M.
Begin talking with your child about how long it takes to complete activities. Discuss start times and stop times. Use different strategies to figure out how much time elapsed between those times. Use stop watches! Introduce both analog and digital clocks.
While we are working on this new unit, we will also begin practicing our multiplication fluency. Students will start taking timed multiplication tests on facts 0-10. We recommend making flash cards and using different online resources to practice, practice, practice!
