Telling Time

Your student is learning to tell time to the nearest five minutes. Most students understand how to count around the clock by 5s. However, a few are still having a hard time remembering which hand tells the hour and which hand tells the minutes. Whenever possible, have your child look at a clock that has hands (called an analog clock) and tell you what time it is. I know most of us have digital clocks around the house but this is a necessary skill for your child. Use your cell phone if you can, most cell phones have an analog clock feature.
