time
By Melissa

I'm teaching time and calendar right now. A few things that I've tried...for students who are having time with hour/minute hands I make my own worksheets. I use two different colored markers. I draw all of the hour hands
with one color and the min. hands with the other. Then, below the clock I draw __ : __ The first __I use the same color as the hour hand and the second __ is the same color as the second hand.
Also, kids had trouble reading the hour hand when it gets close to the next hour. We talk about how it's not our birthday until the day of - even though it's very close. And it's still our

birthday until the next day. So we'll say, is it the three's birthday or the four's? That seems to help.
