At Home Project: Please Read
Students need to track how long they spend doing different activities throughout the day. Students will keep track from Monday -Thursday and bring in their completed tables on Friday. We will use the data they collected to complete a bar graph of the time they spent on each activity for the entire week. Click here for the table they will need to fill out at home. Each student has a copy on their google classroom as well! Students can fill in their data on the computer or you can print it out and students can write it in each night, and then bring it in on Friday. Whatever works best for you and your child :)
