Time Tutor Unit and Kinder Resource


If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, then you know I have been teasing you all week with pictures of my Time unit.  We good gravy----I finished it!

As I have been working on it I have been using every bit of it in my room to help my kids.  We took a Time assessment last week and it didn't go so hot folks.  In my kids' defense, we did experience some CRAZY Ice days here in Charleston.  BUT- I really needed to put something together to help them out.

1.  Posters that clarified terms and could be used as a Reference.

This is how I displayed the posters in my room.  I will move them to a side wall as we move on to measurement next week, but I know they need the reinforcement still!

 I also made some printables that not only nailed down the telling time on an analog clock, but addressed some vocabulary issues we were having as well.
 

Here is our foldable in action!

We also LOVED using the centers.  


I changed it up a little this time and used these whole group.  My kids needed some extra support on A.M. and P.M.

 And lastly we used the Student Booklet as a Study Guide that went home to their parents to help them review for the Test.


Isn't this just the sweetest answer?!?!




Don't leave yet!

Y'all know Stacey!?!  My adorable friend who helps me do the Kinder Busy Teacher (okay- really- she does the WHOLE she-bang).  Anyway, Stacey has set up her own shop on TPT.  
 You can find her  FIRST solo-unit in her store by clicking on the picture!  My son's teacher uses these in her classroom almost daily and I KNOW Nash loves them!  Go check it out!

A few ideas for teaching TIME and a couple of freebies!

My kids had a pretty good grasp on time when they came to me as 2nd graders.  Everyone could tell time to the hour and half hour!

 I call that a win for sure!

SO we jumped right in using Amy Lemon's unit:


My cuties loved writing and sorting to show me what they know!

Amy had the cutest craft in her unit, but it wasn't seasonably appropriate so I used the clock she provided and had my kids make snowmen and snowwomen :)


I think they turned out great! What do you think?


I try and put Time centers in most of my Center packs so that my kids see it over and over again!


I found this adorable clock in my files, but I couldn't find the master so I went searching on TPT...


This is what my kids will be making tomorrow during math to introduce time to the five minute!

(Click on the picture to go to Amber's store and get her freebie!)


I also made this freebie a couple of years ago when I was just starting out with the whole creating thing ;)


I will be back in a few days with more friends! Have a great evening!
