Title of lesson: Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock

Description of lesson: This lesson revolves around learning how to tell time. Students will watch a series of videos from [|www.youtube.com]. These videos include songs and interactive ways to learn time and be introduced to the clock. Following the videos, the students will make their own clock out of various materials (e.g. construction paper, felt paper, markers, etc.). As a class, students will then go through the song they watched on the video form PBS Kids. This lesson will then be based on a continum throughout the school year. As a class, students will be using the clock every day to truly learn how it works. Assignment: The students assignment for this lesson involves taking their hand made clocks home. Students will be responsible for using their clock during ten times or acitivities while at home.

Students will make a record of all of the times they utilize their clock while at home.

Resources/materials needed: -computer/Internet for the videos -various materials for the clocks (e.g. construction paper, crayons, glue, etc.).
