Making references to time throughout the class helps students learn about telling time, see its usefulness and understand the concept behind it. Below are activities which keep time in the classroom.

1. Make and post a class schedule. Refer to the schedule throughout the day. (Any class should be able to use a schedule. Even if you don't schedule particular times for working on math skills or reading skills, there is a specific starting and ending time, there can be a specific break time, perhaps you could add a specific clean up time.)
   
   
2. For higher level time, have students write down the actual start and finish time of their personal or small group activities. Appoint someone to be a timekeeper for whole class activities.
   
   
3. Post a class calendar with long-term dates on it.
   
   
4. Have each student fill out a monthly calendar. This familiarizes the student with the purpose of a calendar and lets you engage in some goal-setting with the student.
