I worked hard to be upbeat and animated today. I think it paid off because chatty girl wrote me a letter that said, "You are pretty. You are a sun rise." Now that's a pretty good letter. The peeps were in pretty good form, but they kept interrupting me to announce how much time remained of the school day. "3 hours left." "There's about 1 hour and ten minutes left." It's weird that they had no clue how to do a time related math problem during math groups at the end of the day. This was the problem: Sue woke up at 6:45. She left for school at 7:30. How long did it take Sue to get ready?"
"2 and a half hours," said Sassy girl.
Me: "What if it's 6:30 and then an hour passes?"
Kids shouting out randomly: 6:00! 8:00! 3:30!"
Me: "Okay, think about this. What if it's 6:00 and then an hour passes?"
Them: "7:00?"
Me: "Right!!!! So if it's 6:30 and then an hour passes, what time would it be?"
Them: "10:00? 7:00? 8:00?"
Geezlouise. Let's get out the cardboard clocks on the morrow.
