2nd and 3rd grades are almost finished their pizza clocks. We began with a discussion of food art, a la Wayne Thiebaud, and collage art a la Eric Carle, but mostly we are focusing on understanding elapsed time: We are depicting, by contrasting colors, elapsed time and time remaining from a randomly selected time. Students made their own collage paper, and I supplemented as we began to run out. Large pizza cardboard, donated by Susan Newman, was used by 3rd grade and adds an authentic large pizza look. 2nd grade and special needs students worked on a smaller scale.
Students were given a clock worksheet to fill in when tasks are completed. Next week we should be putting the hands on our clocks and concluding with a time-telling game.
