Homework: Time

Last week we talked about telling time. Share what time you usually wake up in the morning and what time you go to sleep at night.

Also, our school day begins at 8:30 and ends at just before 3:00. Would you prefer to start school earlier or later than we currently do? (Remember, if we start earlier we would leave earlier and if we start later, we would leave later.) If you were in charge, what time would you start school? Explain your thinking behind your answers.

On school days, I wake up at about 7:30 am. I go to bed on school days at 8:30 pm. I like school the way it is because i can have playdates and play soccer and baseball after school. If it started later, I wouldn't have time to do that stuff. It would be fun to try and sleep during the day and be up and go to school at night because we could study bats and owls because they are awake at night and sleep during the day.

Hi Miss Stern,

I wake up at 7:30 in the morning for school and I go to bed between 8 and 8:30. On Friday and Saturday nights, I get to stay up later. I wish school started later, so I could sleep more and do fun things in the morning with my mom and my brother like play baseball in our basement with a softball.

Hi Ms. Stern. It's me Nolan. I wake up at 7:15 and I go to bed at 9:00. I would like for school to start earlier so that I could relax after school at home or play outside longer. Also, if I were in charge, I would start school at 7:00 and end at 1:30! That would be so cool don't you think?!
See you tomorrow!
From, Nolan

I'm jealous! My alarm goes off at 6:20 (but I usually hit the snooze button one time and get out of bed at 6:30) and I begin my day.

Anthony and Nolan, you must be real morning people! I would have a VERY hard time being awake enough to start school at 7 a.m.

Kevin, does your brother get to do fun stuff in the morning since his school starts later? Or does he sleep later instead? Next year school will begin at 9:10 so you will all have a little more time in the morning!

Sweet dreams!

i already wake up 6:15 so I would like school to start earlier. This way I can get home earlier and go swimming with my grandma, and in the winter I would like to go ice skating or play cards.

Good night

Kaitlyn, you must really enjoy getting up at the crack of dawn! What is your reason for wanting to begin school so early? There must be tons that you want to do in the afternoon!

Isabella, great ideas! Swimming, skating, or playing cards with you and your grandma all sound like lots of fun!

Good evening Ms. Stern:

During the week I wake up at 7:00 am but I do not want to get out of bed. I get out of bed at 6:00 am on the weekends to wake my Mom. Mom says "how nice!"

I go to bed every night at 9:00 pm and Mom says "now that is nice!"

I would like school to start at 9:00 am so I could spend more time with my Mom on Friday's.

See you all tomorrow,

Darren

Hi Ms. Stern
this is Mia,
I go to bed at different times every night between 8 and 9 pm.
My Mom wakes me up every morning and I almost miss the bus. I usually put my buzzer on.I would start school really late because we get to sleep in but then we'd have to stay at school later. I like the way it is now because I get to play after school with my friends before homework time.
Love Mia

Hi Ms. Stern,

This is Joshua.
I wake up at 7:30 am every morning. I go to sleep between 9 pm and 9:30 pm.

I would like to start school earlier, so I can get home earlier...b/c I need more time to do my homework after I relax.

See you tomorrow.

From Daniel:

I try to go to sleep at 9:00 at night. I wake up at 7:00 in the morning.

I would like to start school a little later. My parents say that the younger kids should have more time to sleep, because their brains need more rest.
