What Time is it in Gan Aleph?


Tick tock, tick tock! Can you hear the clock ticking in Gan Aleph? We explored the concept of time by making a human clock! The children were assigned a number necklace and formed a clock using their bodies. We then took turns rolling dice and adding the two numbers together. The "dice thrower" yelled out the number formed by the dice and the "arrow holder" quickly formed that time in the middle of our circle. Zecharia yelled out "6" as Vicky quickly pointed the big arrow at the 12 and the small arrow at the 6. We took turns switching off the different "clock jobs."The children are having fun using manipulative clocks to explore the concept of time!
