What Time Is It?
Clocks help us know when it's time to play, eat, or sleep!
The big hand points to minutes and the small hand points to hours. When the big hand points to 12, we
say "o'clock"!
How to Read a Clock
1️⃣ Look at the small hour hand first
2️⃣ Then look at the big minute hand
3️⃣ Put them together to say the time!
