My students were so excited when they first saw it—several immediately pointed out the bright color-coded sections and started guessing which colors matched their class times. It quickly became a fun conversation starter and helped them feel a sense of ownership over our shared space. The clock has also added a cheerful visual element to the room, making it feel even more welcoming and creative.\r\nWe've been using the clock daily during projects, especially during lessons where students rotate between tasks or work with a set amount of studio time. During a recent sculpture project, I watched a group of second graders proudly announce, \"We still have 10 minutes before cleanup!\" after checking the clock and matching their class's color-coded segment. Moments like these have shown just how effective the clock is in helping students develop time awareness, independence, and responsibility.\r\nAs we move forward with our current units, students will continue using the clock to track work time, transition smoothly between activities, and manage the creative process more confidently. Your support has given them not just a functional tool, but a skill-building resource they'll use every day.
