G is great with time using a
Judy clock but "real" time is different. So I peeked in the back of our Math U See book and checked out the appendix on time. Really strange teaching time with
blocks but everything else they teach seems to work so we are giving it a try. We watched the video... great visual. But who can leave blocks lying all over the table? Not me. So I thought I would find a
cheapy clock at Goodwill and try to make a block clock.

Voila!
Not Perfect but I think that it will make a big difference. I wrote an H: and an :M on the hands. We can keep it down where we can handle it rather than it hanging high on the wall. I am really proud of it.

That's a great idea! JediBoy is also at about this level - he needs a lot of prompts telling time but he was interested in the explanation in the back of MUS alpha. I'll have to keep my eye out for a cheapy clock of my own!
Great job with the clock!
And, thanks for the CD recommendations on my blog - and the website! We'll be checking some of those out! :-)
What a great idea! I'll have to do this as well when the 'time' comes... (pun intended). :D
