Spelling: Choose one spelling activity:
- Finger Writing -- write each word on someone's back. Have them try to guess which word it is. Let them try writing on your back next! - OR-
- Draw a picture and hide your spelling words in the drawing. See if someone at your home can find them!
- What are some things you see in the springtime? Write your answer in complete sentences in your writing journal and draw a picture.
- Yesterday, you looked at clocks that were to the hour. Like 3:00, 6:00, 12:00. Today, you are going to look at clocks to the half hour.
Here is a clock that says 2:30. The hour hand (small hand) is halfway between the 2 and 3 because it has already gone through half of the hour. The minute hand (long hand)is on the 6. If you start at the 12 and skip count by 5's around the clock, the minute hand will be 30. So, the 1 will by 5, the 2 will be 10, the 3 will be 15, the 4 will be 20, the 5 will be 25 and the 6 will be 30.
This clock says that the time is 10:30. The hour hand (small hand) is halfway between the 10 and 11 because it has already gone through half of the hour. The minute hand (long hand) is on the 6. If you start at the 12 and skip count by 5's around the clock, the minutes hand will be 30.
So, whenever your minute hand is on the 12....you are saying o'clock. Whenever your minute hand is on the 6......you are saying 30.
