The Time And Routines Lesson Plan for 2nd Grade Students

Topic: The time and routines

Objectives & Outcomes

• By the end of the lesson, students will be able to name and use the 24-hour clock to tell time and identify morning, afternoon, and evening.

Materials

• Clock with both traditional hours and minutes and the 24-hour clock
• Pictures of different times of day (morning, afternoon, evening)
• Whiteboard and markers

Warm-up

• Review the concept of telling time using the traditional clock. Ask students to give examples of times they are typically awake and asleep at different times of the day.
• Write these examples on the whiteboard as a chart with the hours on the left and the minutes on the right. Ask students to match each example to the corresponding hour on the clock.

Direct Instruction

• Introduce the digital clock. Show students how to use the digital clock by pressing the buttons to change the numbers.
• Explain that the digital clock is divided into hours and minutes. Show students how to use the hour and minute hands to tell the time.
• Review the key times of the day. Ask students to give examples of when they typically wake up, go to school, come home from school, and go to bed at different times of the day. Write these examples on the whiteboard as a chart with the hours on the left and the minutes on the right. Ask students to match each example to the corresponding hour on the clock.

Guided Practice

• Bring the digital clocks for students to use. Have students work in pairs to practice telling the time using the digital clocks. One student will act as the teacher and the other will be the student. The teacher will ask the student for the time and the student will use the digital clock to tell the time. The teacher will then check the answer with the digital clock.
• After some practice, bring in a large analog clock and have students work in pairs to identify the key times of the day on the clock. One student will act as the teacher and the other will be the student. The teacher will point to a specific hour on the clock and ask the student to identify the correct key time. The teacher will then check the answer with the analog clock.

Independent Practice

• Have students work in small groups to create a poster or presentation on one of the key times of the day. The students should include at least one activity or item that they do at the key time in their poster or presentation. For example, if the key time is breakfast, the students could include a picture of a typical breakfast and ideas for activities they do at breakfast. -Allow time for students to present their posters or presentations to the class.

Closure

• Review the importance of the key times of the day and the activities that take place during each key time. -Ask students to share one thing they learned about the key times of the day during the lesson.

Assessment

• Observe students during the guided and independent practice activities to assess their understanding of the importance of the key times of the day and their ability to create a schedule for themselves. -Evaluate the schedules created by students during the independent practice activity for accuracy and completeness.
