Use Your “Time” Wisely doing this…

Never take your blank classroom wall space for granted.  Below I have pictured what I placed around my classroom clock.  Then I added some extra items instead of just the numbers around the clock with the quarters of an hour as I saw students having misconceptions about several concepts.  I noticed students struggling with all of the different words that meant before (to, til, until), so I posted an anchor chart showing this around the clock.  I also posted an anchor chart showing how each fifteen minute increment adds up as quarters of an hour.  This is a picture from a classroom I had several years ago, and it isn’t the most beautiful, perfect clock display.  If you use this idea or have done something similar, post a link in the comments to show how you displayed yours in a more aesthetically pleasing way since mine is lacking in this department :).
