Make Time for Time!
Digital technology has made the standard clock almost obsolete. So much so that many of the students cannot tell time by reading the hands on a clockface. Please take the opportunity to ask you son/daughter the time whenever you see what they call an "old-fashioned clock." Practice drawing hands and times on clocks. Play online games with clock faces. When completing their nightly HomeLink, if the time comes from a digital read, ask them to draw the time on the back of the page as practice. This will help them master the third grade standard of telling time to the nearest minute and of differentating bewteen before and after the hour.
