i am guessing you mean 32nd notes. imagine your teacher is very proud of this accomplishment and that you are learning the most by being curious about rhythms and how they operate. yes. if i were you, i'd take the clapping very slow and put words to the rhythms at first (at home).
quarter, two-eighths, four-six-teenth-notes, thir-ty-se-cond-notes-will-double-it...
and use a metronome at home - so when you get to class - your clapping is even. something that helps me in reading music, also, is to draw a straight line down through both staves at each main beat. then you can easily divide up the rest.
