Time Management for Children

Yesterday Sr. N's third daughter volunteered in 4th grade to help kids who need additional help in math. Since college starts on Friday, she wanted to use her free time to help kids. Students are now reviewing numbers in standard, expanded and word form, and this concept can be tricky to understand. All praise be to Allah SWT at the end of the period, most students seemed to have to grasp the concept.

One of the challenge of teaching elementary students is how to manage time in class. Some students do not know how to work quickly within a given time frame, so they end up not being able to complete math questions. We are trying to get these kids to learn to focus on their task. For now Sr. N allows them to bring unfinished work home and hand them in the next day. Allah SWT willing with daily practice they should be able to manage class time well within a month.
