Today the second grade class began their unit of study on time in math class. We started by exploring just how long a minute is and what can be done in that time. First, the students put their heads on their desks and raised their hands when they thought one minute had passed. Everyone's hands were up after only twenty seconds! Then, each child located the second hand on the clock and watched along with me as it made its way around the clock one time - in order to time out one minute. Next, every student guessed how many times certain activities could be done in one minute. The students hopped on one foot, wrote their names, and touched their toes several times in one one minute. Ask you child which they were able to do the most of in one minute!
