Time

Many people have only digital clocks in their houses.  Today we explored the old school analog clock.  We talked about the concepts of hours and minutes, counting by 5's, half past and quarter after, and the minute and hour hands.  We read The Grouchy Ladybug by Eric Carle which explores the concept of time and shows corresponding images of a clock on each page.  The children are excited to learn more, and some of them began to make their own clocks.  Some even made their own insect clocks!
