Goodnight Moon Day 2 -Telling Time

Telling Time

Read: Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown

Discuss: Look at the moon and the time on the clock on each page in Goodnight Moon. The time changes 10 minutes each page and the moon rises a bit each page too. There are 12 numbers on the clock, these tell us what hour of the day it is. The 12 numbers can also tell us what minute of the hour it is if we count the numbers by 5's. Let's count by 5's now (count to 60). There are 60 minutes in one hour, there are also 60 seconds in one minute. Let's count to one minute (count by 1's to 60).

Comprehension Questions:

1. What time is Bunny's bed time?
2. How long did it take Bunny to fall asleep?

Clock Match

J used this download for this Clock Matching activity.  He cut out each piece

and place the clocks down the left side of a piece of construction paper (front and back).  

Then he matched up the times on the right side of the paper.
