Our unit in math right now is on telling time. We have been practicing telling time to the hour and half hour. Today we worked on telling time to the quarter hour. We have been practicing vocabulary such as, "half past" and "quarter to."
We have been talking about the importance of knowing how to read an analog clock even though most of our clocks are digital. See if your child can tell you the story I shared about what happened to Mrs. Kath at the airport!
We have also been practicing time by "planning backwards." For example I might say, "You are going to meet your friend at the movie theater at 2:30. It takes you 15 minutes to get there. You need to walk your dog before you go. It takes 10 minutes to walk the dog. What time do you need to start walking the dog so that you can leave for the movie on time?
