In this unit, the children will learn how to read both digital and analog clocks to tell and write time to the hour and half-hour. They will review and apply their understandings of measurement to measure and compare lengths of objects using non-standard measurement tools.
Measurement:
Children learn how to measure using nonstandard measuring tools, such as paper clips, popsicle sticks and cubes. They learn that they must choose one tool of equal size (ex. paperclips) to measure an object. The tools must touch side to side to span the length of the object they are measuring.
Time:
It is important to try to talk about time throughout the course of your child's day. Discuss different events in the day that happen in the a.m. and p.m. Review how to tell time to the nearest hour and half hour on an analog clock.
These are vocabulary words that students will be exposed to throughout the unit.
