Group Time. Marking Time at Group Time! Add Some Creativity to Charting Dates, Weather, and Time at Group Time!
Church, Ellen Booth
Early Childhood Today, v20 n2 p37-38 Oct 2005
Young children are just beginning to develop an understanding of time. In the preschool and kindergarten years children often have difficulty understanding the difference between yesterday, today and tomorrow, much less Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This article offers tips that teachers may use to make these abstract concepts less confusing: (1) Create calendars to use not only for marking time, but also as a way to collectively record daily experiences, events, ideas, and observations; (2) Take photos of the major events of the day to highlight the daily schedule; (3) Chart the weather for comparison from month to month; and (4) Pick an appropriate "poem of the month."
