Learning to tell time on a clock face can be a challenge. New School Montessori preprimary teacher Sarah Strietmann made it easier by focusing only on how to tell time at the top of each hour. She explained how to make a paper-plate clock with moving hands and then took students through the practice of naming and finding each hour on their own paper clock. Teacher Holly Lottman followed up the lesson by showing how an old-time clock works. She used a special key to wind the clock, moved the hands to set the proper time and treated us to the cozy sound of loud ticking as this antique wonder warmed up the atmosphere of the room.
