Salem Elementary uses the Everyday Math curriculum. This is a spiral curriculum. One topic that is covered is time. There isn't a designated unit for telling time. It may be hit one day, and not covered again for a week or longer.
Some of the students have really taken to trying to master telling time. Constantly throughout the day students are approaching me,or my co-op and asking is it "2:32 right now, is it 11:08 right now?"
A lot of the class is so close to mastering the concept. I truly believe that if they received one or two lessons (in a row) they would be able to really advance in their comprehension of the topic.
They are having such gaps of time in between the lessons that they forget the material learned previously.
I'm hoping to get the opportunity to do a bonus lesson on time.
