<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">I chose to read “The Grouchy Ladybug” by Eric Carle to the children since I thought it is a great source for teaching ‘time’. First we flipped through the book and I asked the children what they think the book is about. Then I Asked the students if they know what "time" is and we had an open class discussion about "time." After I read the book the students <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">made their own clocks by the hour <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> and they <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">moved the hand on their clocks to the time shown in the book. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Later on, I gave each child a piece of paper they can keep on their desk. While they were working on other things besides math, I would set a timer up using this website: http://www.online-stopwatch.com/, so the students saw the timer through the <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">LCD projector <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"> and whenever the timer went off, it made a sound so they knew when to stop. I had the children write down what time it was. At the <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">end of the day we discussed their data. This was a fun activity and the children seemed to be really involved. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">The learner will practice by reading the book again and follow along more closely using the time. Discussion of the activity using the piece of paper and the timer would be very helpful, as well as talking more about what they had written down. For homework it would be helpful if parents would discuss with them more about what time means to them and what //they// think of time. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Laptop and LCD projector for the online stop watch. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Basically it was just more fun to use this website since it included somewhat of technology in the classroom. It had a nice sound to it and all the children could look at it as it counts down since it was used on a big screen. As well as that, I could change the look of this clock since they have different clocks, so I could use the “egg timer”, clock timer or a bomb timer although I’m not sure if I want to use this one but it was nice to have different objects to do the count down with.
