In the next few lessons, we will begin to learn about elapsed time. When the time comes (ha, get it!?), we wanted to let you know a strategy we will be using in class to help them find out how much time has passed from a start time to an end time. Here is a poster we will discuss and have available to help students:
We will be using timelines to help them plot the start time, end time, and then they will use "mountains, hills, and rocks" to help them add up the minutes that have gone by from start to finish. We're hoping this visual will help them with this tricky concept! We will also be using Judy Clocks to count up how many minutes have gone by. If your child is struggling with telling time on an analog clock, Judy Clocks are a great tool to help!
As always, let us know if you have any questions!
