Before I teach about time, I let my students create their own clocks. They love craft! While they are having fun putting all of the clock parts together, they are learning about clock terms – the face, the hour hand, the minute hand, and the twelve hours on the clock. They get to write in the hours for themselves. I created an editable lesson plan in the form of a Word Doc. With this lesson, the students are creating color coded clocks (red and blue for hour and minute). This really helps with distinguishing between the hours and the minutes. Visit Nyla’s Ctrafty Teaching on TPT to check out this lesson!

More ideas will be added soon.
