Clock Building

We have been working really hard to learning to read an analog clock.  Sometimes it can be tricky to know which hand is the hour hand and which is the minute hand. It can also be tricky to understand why the minute hand "counts by 5's." 
Last week, we built giant clocks out of hula hoops to helps us better understand how an analog clock works to help us tell time better.  In between the numbers we added 4 dot to represent the 4 minutes between the larger numbers to show why the large numbers count by 5's!
