What Time Is It?


Nicholas is working on how to read time on clocks. We were working on the concept of "half past"
this morning. I showed him 2:00 on our play clock and asked him to tell me the time. He answered correctly. Then, I showed him 2:30 and asked him to tell me the time. His response was, "Almost snacktime."
