Reviews

[Kathryn Sublett · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book displays different types of clocks and explains the many reasons we use time. Students will be able to find real world contexts for time. Get first grade students to make a timeline of a weekday. Provide them with times for arriving at school, lunch, dismissal and get them to choose eight other time slots for activities. Students need to know why time is important. Discuss with students what it would be like if time didn't matter(i.e. missing the bus because there is no specified time for them to pick up students).
