Telling time, although logical to most adults, can be confusing to children. Clocks and time have been the topic of many recent math lessons in first grade. This week the teachers reviewed telling time for the exact-hour and for half-past on the analog clock. Telling time to the quarter-hour and quarter-after the hour was introduced. The introduction lesson demonstrated to the chidlren that a pizza can be divided into four equal parts and that was related to dividing a clock face into four equal parts.
The first grade classes will travel to The Montclair Bread Company next week to enhance their study of Bread Around The World. The children are expected to wear a white MKA logo shirt and khaki pants/skirt. The trip is after lunch. The schedule is as follows:
1S- Tuesday
