What Time is it in Gan Aleph!?

Tick tock, tick tock! Can you hear the clock ticking in Gan Aleph? This week, we explored the concept of telling time to the hour. The children learned the different parts to the clock what the big and small hands represent. We practiced telling time to the hour 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 adding the 2 dice together and the "arrow holder" quickly formed that time in the middle of our circle. We took turns switching off the different "clock jobs." The children are having fun using manipulative clocks to explore the concept of time and are eager to continue this unit next week using their own handmade ladybug clocks!
