Time

Today we discussed time. I asked the students what they understood about Time. here is what they came up with:

• The numbers on the clock skip count by 5's.
• The large hand points to the minute.
• The little hand points to the hour.
• The clock shows the numbers 1 - 12.
• The hour hand moves when the minute hand passes 12.
• A year = 365 days.
• A week = 7 days.
• A day = 24 hours.
• An hour = 60 minutes.
• 1 Minute = 60 seconds.
• AM / PM
• Moon changes throughout the month.
• Sundial can be used to tell time.
• Sometimes, there are Roman Numerals on the face of the clock.
• Digital & Analog clocks are used to tell time.
• There are 4 seasons in a year.

For 2 tickets tomorrow, I asked the kids to research who developed the concept of time.

You could help your child at home with telling time. Just ask them to take a glance at your clock and to report the time to you. Remind them that they can also skip count by 5's to figure it out!
