Understanding Time
Time helps us know when to wake up, eat, play, and sleep!
We use clocks to tell time. The big hand shows minutes and the small hand shows hours. When the big hand
points to 12, we say "o'clock"!
Parts of a Clock
1️⃣ Hour hand - The short hand that shows hours
2️⃣ Minute hand - The long hand that shows minutes
3️⃣ Clock face - The circle with numbers from 1 to 12
Let's Practice Telling Time!
