Telling Time

Telling Time

The end of summer and back-to-school season is the perfect time to talk about… well… time! Whether vacation is still winding down or whether students are familiarizing themselves with a new classroom and school year, this month’s blog explores ways to reflect and grow while working hands-on with time-telling and elapsed-time skills.

We recommend one of two versions of this activity:

  1. Review the new school and after-school schedule.

  2. Lay out the schedule of a favorite—or perfect!—summer day. (Just be aware that these versions of the activity are more likely to stick to hours, half hours, and quarter hours rather than to-the-minute skills!)
