Ms. Piekara’s third-grade class has been enthusiastically working on telling time and understanding elapsed time this week. The students engaged in various interactive activities to grasp these concepts. They used analog clocks to practice setting and reading different times and digital clocks to compare and contrast. One fun activity involved timing their favorite classroom tasks, like reading or drawing, and then calculating the elapsed time. They also played games where they had to solve time-related puzzles and challenges. These hands-on experiences not only made learning enjoyable but also helped the students develop a strong foundation in time management skills. Ms. Piekara ensured that each activity was tailored to meet the diverse learning needs of her students, fostering a supportive and engaging environment.
