- Today, we are going to look at telling time to the hour. We have already looked at this in school during the year, so it should be a quick review. Remember that the minute hand is long. It tells us the minutes. The hour hand is short. It tells us what hour it is.
This clock shows that it is 3:00. The short hour hand is pointing to the 3. The long minute hand is pointing to the 12. It is 3:00.
This is another kind of clock. It is called a digital clock. It shows 3:00 also.

Science:
- I bet today you will be able to see different clouds in the sky than yesterday. Be a weather watcher again....what clouds do you see today?
- We are going to learn more about the sky. What do you see in the sky during the day?
- Let's begin learning about the sun!
The sun is the closet star to Earth.
The Earth rotates on its axis as it
revolves around the sun. In the
morning, we see that the sun rises in
the east. During the day, the sun
continues to travel across the sky. In
the evening, we see the sun sets in the
west. This is a predictable pattern.
The sun gives the living things on
Earth the energy they need to
survive.
