clock minute call things
hour round tick tack

Can you tell what time it
is? Look at the clock, and
then tell me.

The clock has a round face.

It has two hands.

We call the long hand the
minute hand, for it tells the
minutes.

We call the short hand the hour
hand, for it tells the hours.

How many hours are there in a
day? How many minutes in an hour?

If you listen, you can hear what the
clock says. Tick, tack, tick, tack.

Our clock at school tells us many
things. It tells us when to work
and when to play.
