This would be great to do with calendar time, too, which we sometimes forget about in regards to elapsed time. After all, when my niece was 5, she said it took 3 days to get to our Thanksgiving gathering, but her family only drove from KY to IL!WendyZ - Learning Resourceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432098535023598259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020198846212735037.post-37056237485826520312009-02-19T05:17:00.000-06:002009-02-19T05:17:00.000-06:00Wendy,You have great ideas here!

I will use your ideas.<BR/>One thing that also helps kids improve their "time sense" as well as learning time management, is to have them predict how long an activity/chore will take. They can then write the actual time and compare how accurate they were in their estimate. You can even use elapsed time in this by saying: If you begin at 12:15, what time do you think you will finish? I love your idea of using their own day because, as we know, kids want to talk about their own experiences first and foremost. Thanks for your fun and informative entries.Joan Young (aka Mancini)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06862764260067132727noreply@blogger.com
