Tremendous Tuesday!!

We began the day working on our speeches for the oral competition.

Next we had French and then Gym.

After first recess and lunch we did a new set of follow me cards related to time. Today we were able to get them done in 8 minutes and 57 seconds. Each day we will try to improve this time. Next we practiced elapsed time as a group. Ms. Jaskolka gave us various scenarios and we needed to figure out the answer:

If recess begins at 10:10 and ends at 10:25 how low was recess? 15 minutes

If recess began at 10:10 and ends at 10:45 how low was recess? 35 minutes

If we were extra lucky and recess began at 10:10 and ended at 11:05 how long was recess? 55 minutes

If you began piano lessons at 4:45 and it ended at 5:10 how low were your piano lessons? 25 minutes

If you began swimming lessons at 5:30 and it ended at 6:45 how long were your swimming lessons? One hour and fifteen minutes.

If you began basketball practice at 7:15 and it lasted for 45 minutes, what time did your basketball practice end? 8 o’clock.

We then worked on similar scenarios in partners and groups.
