Telling time
This is going to have to be a quick post. Firstly I want to thank Marnie at Carrots are orange for her inspiring Learning to tell time post.
Freya has been enjoying using the 5 bead chains to learn about 60 minutes in an hour. I made my own bead chains and labels (free download).
Here are the link to my printables – http://www.montessorisoul.com/download/telling-time-printables
I have also used the printables combined with a short bead stair to make a clock. I got the mechanism from Amazon and it seems brilliant DIY Quartz Clock Movement Mechanism Red Hands Mechanism Repair Tool
Finally – I have three part cards for Analogue and digital time both o’clock and half past – http://www.montessorisoul.com/download/telling-time
Just tacking this on at the end as I forgot I also have images designed for Kaboom lolly sticks! http://www.montessorisoul.com/download/kaboom-time.
See Kaboom blog post for great ideas on a very easy to make game that can enfore nearly any idea you are teaching 🙂 http://www.montessorisoul.com/127-kaboom
So sorry this was so rushed but I hope you find everything useful
Best wishes
