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. Make sure students understand what each number represents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn understanding of these basic concepts will lay the foundation for confident 'time tellers'!

By pasting a different animal habitat heading at the top of each folder section and adding Velcro dots to both the pages and animal cards, students can be encouraged to sort the animal cards by habitat (i.e. the cow belongs on the farm, the octopus belongs in the ocean, etc.). This design is super practical, easy-to-store, and provides students with unlimited individual sorting practice. However, Jolanthe's adorable printables can have several other applications as well!

What we like about this worksheet is that, like word problems that offer more information than necessary and have to be analyzed for \u003cem\u003erelevant\u003c\/em\u003e information, students are given a grouping of objects out of which they have to select the correct number.

Because each grouping contains the same \u003cem\u003etype\u003c\/em\u003e of object, students must observe individual object details (i.e. color, style, etc.) in order to find which one is different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"caption\"\u003e\n\t \u003cimg src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Winter-Same-Worksheet.jpg\" alt=\"chose the winter object that is the same preschool printable\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption\u003ePhoto Source: All Kids Network\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSame.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpposite to the concept above, with this worksheet, students will practice finding objects that are the same. Instead of starting with a group of items, students are given one object then are charged with the task choosing its match from the selection of objects beside it. Once again, the objects are the same type, so students must observe item details to make the match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile your preschoolers my only be able to recognize letters and not the words as a whole, this handwriting worksheet offers great fine motor practice and exposure to both new vocabulary words and the concept of word formation (e.g. words are just letters strung together).
