In the Classroom
Have students use the time card calculator to compute work hours based on sample employee schedules, reinforcing addition, subtraction, and time-telling skills. Assign historical figures or events and ask students to calculate how long certain events lasted (e.g., the hours of the D-Day invasion, the time between major events), thereby promoting historical analysis and elapsed-time skills. Have students track the time they spend reading or working on ELA tasks throughout the week. They can then graph the data using Class Tools, reviewed here and write a short analysis of their reading habits.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

This video explains the well-known "marshmallow test," where children choose between eating one marshmallow right away or waiting to earn two. It shows how this experiment helps researchers understand self-control and long-term decision-making. It highlights that self-regulation is not an innate trait but a skill that they can strengthen through teaching and practice. The video also shares examples of how educators help children learn strategies to manage impulses, build patience, and make thoughtful choices that support success both in and out of the classroom. If your district blocks YouTube, then the video may not be viewable.
