Math - Grade 2

The 2nd graders have been reviewing telling time to the hour and half hour and are beginning to tell time to the 5 minutes.  Since this is such a real world application that can be used in every day life immediately after learning the material and it builds such awesome confidence in each child!  It is incredibly beneficial if parents practice this newly taught skill with their children using analog clocks at home as well.  This is an area that I've traditionally sought assistance from parents (even 20+ years ago when I taught 2nd grade for several years) and parents have always stepped up and it certainly shows in the classroom!  Thank you, in advance, for your assistance!  A team approach is always best!
