Student Activities


Day 1: Days and Parts of a Day
 * 1) I will give an introduction to this week's topic of time measurement. We will begin by learning the days of the week: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We will discuss what activities are done on each day.
 * 2) After our discussion, we will go to the lab where you will work in pairs to complete an Assignment on Kidspiration. You will create a schedule for a student to use with things they need to get done each day of the week.
 * 3) Of course, school needs to be included. But what about after school and on the weekends? Does your student have baseball practice? Girl Scout meetings? Chores? Be creative =)
 * 4) I will demonstrate how to use Kidspiration at the Lab.

• MA.3.G.5.Su.d: Identify the days of the week using a calendar. • MA.3.G.5.Su.c: Identify concepts of time, including yesterday, today, and tomorrow, by relating activities to  the time period.



Day 2: Concepts of Time
 * 1) We will discuss the concepts of time and you will then use construction paper and crayons/markers to draw an activity you do in the afternoon and an activity you do at night. For example, in the afternoon you are at recess, and at night you lay in bed while your mom reads you a story.
 * 2) Go to the back table to choose a color of construction paper and some crayons if you would like. You already have markers in your desks.
 * 3) Fold your paper in half the "hot dog" way. On the left side at the top, write "Afternoon". On the right side at the top, write "Night."
 * 4) Draw and color two pictures, one for each time of day. The pictures should represent activities you do.
 * 5) The last 10 minutes will be spent presenting your pictures.

• MA.3.G.5.Pa.d: Recognize part of a day, such as morning or afternoon, associated with a common activity.



Day 3: Telling Time Part 1
 * 1) We will begin using the analog clocks today you see on your desk. Now that we've learned about parts of a day, we are ready to move to telling time. our discussion will include the parts of a clock and what the hour and minute hands mean.
 * 2) First, we will watch part of video online. Pay attention! =)
 * 3) Second, I will show you a time on my analog clock. You will move the hour and minute hand on your clocks to match mine. Then, I will just tell you a time and you will have to show it on your clocks on your own.
 * 4) The last part of the day, we will read a book called "Telling Time with Diego". You will each be handed a copy of the book.
 * 5) Follow along as the book is read by an audio voice on a CD.

• MA.3.G.5.In.c: Identify time to hour and half hour using analog and digital clocks.



Day 4: Telling Time Part 2
 * 1) First, we will finish watching the online video.
 * 2) I will ask a couple of you what you learned from the video.
 * 3) We will then discuss how you can tell time in quarter increments and even minute increments instead of just by hours or half hours.
 * 4) Again, we will use our analog clocks to help us practice. For example, I will say "4:15", and you will make that time on your clock.
 * 5) The last thing to be completed are your worksheets on telling time. Follow the directions on your worksheet and you may only work by yourself. We will review the worksheets using the overhead projector.


 * MA.3.G.5.3: Tell time to the nearest minute and to the nearest quarter hour, and determine the amount of time elapsed.

Day 5: Bingo Review and Quiz
 * 1) There are Bingo Cards and chips (small paper scraps) on your group tables. Please select one card and leave the chips in the middle so everyone can use them. Put a chip on the free space.
 * 2) There are various analog times on your card. Miss Gillis will show you a digital time, and you will match that time to an analog time on your card. Remember that you will not always get a match, but it is still helpful to know all the analog times presented.
 * 3) You can get bingo horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. We will play 3 rounds of Bingo.
 * 4) Shout "Bingo!" when you have it. Enjoy this activity! =)
 * 5) After the last round, put your materials back the way you found them. It is now time to take your online quiz. We will go to the computer lab.
 * 6) Find your assigned computer. Click the "Time Measurement Quiz" Icon on the desktop. Login by writing your name. A screen with further instructions will appear. Once on that page, put your thumb up so I know you are ready to begin.
 * 7) When everyone has their thumb in the air, Miss Gillis will say "You may begin." Read the instructions carefully and move on to the first question. There will be arrows on the bottom right corner to go from page to page.
 * 8) Do your best! =)


 * All standards will be applied during the Quiz.
