Good morning!
We are so so lucky to have CLIMB Theater visiting all of our classes this week. How many of you make connections between what you learn from the CLIMB actors and our real everyday life? They are here to teach and remind us of appropriate ways to behave and handle ourselves.
Do any of these phrases sound familiar to you?
... quarter after...
... quarter til...
... half past...
Are you comfortable skip counting by...
... 1s...
... 5s...
... 10s...
Telling time is a matter of skip counting by ones and fives... and remembering a few phrases. Each big number on a clock stands for skip counting by 5 that many times. When the big hand is on the 1... skip count 5, one time! On the 2... skip count 5, two times (5 minutes, 10 minutes). Sometimes it's seems a little tricky to explain. Let's see if Annie and Moby can explain it better!
Be good. Be nice. Behave.
