Make sure your preschoolers are able to count to and recognize numbers one through twelve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassage of Time. Review the terms used in measuring the passage of time: year, month, week, day, and finally make sure students understand the concept of an hour. Have students determine how many big numbers are on an analog clock and explain that when the short (or hour) hand moves from one big number to the next, an hour of time has passed. Make it relevant by discussing things that can be done in an hour (e.g. two episodes of Dora the Explorer, etc.). When students are comfortable with hours, move on to minutes, then seconds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalog v. Digital. Make sure your students can recognize both analog and digital clocks. Introduce the parts of an analog clock. (In learning to tell time \"on the hour\", students will only need to be aware of the movement of the hour hand, but a working knowledge of the minute hand is also important.) Don't assume that digital clocks present a \"no-brainer\" for telling time.
