What's the Time?

We looked at clocks, telling time, and the concepts of time this week. The children learned such concepts as "clockwise," "o'clock," "big hand" and "little hand," and other basic telling time language to build upon as they get older. One child queried "does time still go at night?"    A favorite was our version of "What's the Time, Mr. Wolf!" which was an active way to practice the passage of time. We also made "compasses," thinking about directions on a circle and an arrow. The children are excited to have a say in their math learning, and I'm sure that there will be a new topic or two discussed next week!

Until Next Time,
