  to tell you what time it is. This allows you to
  see who has a concept of time.

  of the clock. Review these parts and model if
  necessary.

Content

• Explain to the students that you will be reading
  The Grouchy Ladybug, by Erik Carle, and as they
  hear a time, create that time on their individual
  clocks and hold them up in the air to show that
  they are finished.

Content

• Once most everyone has their clock in the air,
  model the time on the large clock for the
  children to see if their answer was right.
• Once the book is finished, review the schedule
  for one day of the week. Model these times on
  the model clock. For example Monday school
  begins at (815am) and place the hands on the
  appropriate digits on the clock.
