In this life skills class, we will build our very own analog clock. This class includes a hands-on activity that enhances learners' conceptual understanding of time. We will begin with the identification of the clock's hands and their functions. We will then discuss the numbers on a clock and how they relate to minutes and hours. By the end of this lesson, learners will have a better understanding of time and will have the ability to read any clock with ease!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hey guys! Miss Tolbert here!
After graduating from the University of South Carolina with a B.A. in Elementary Education, I have worked as an elementary school teacher for five years now. Most of my experience has been teaching the fourth and fifth grades. I have taught everything from simple tens-frame addition to elementary level statistics and data analysis and so much more.
One thing I have learned from my time teaching is that there is always another way to get to a correct answer. And, that every person learns differently. So I strive to appeal to all of those unique learning styles and methods.
I am an enthusiastic and passionate person when it comes to math because I understand how difficult all of it can be. My classes use conceptual methods to consider alternative ways to solve math-related topics that children struggle with in school. These include money, time, geometry, division, multiplication, and fractions.
But math isn’t the only thing I enjoy! I am also a former gymnast of 10 years, an amateur painter, a make-shift scientist, a dabbler in gardening, and a brilliant barista. I am all over anything that requires divergent ways of thinking and time to master. With the energy of a thousand suns, I will always have a smile on my face and nothing but encouraging things to say. Most importantly, I will always take the time to get to know the children I work with to empower them in all ways possible.Reviews
