Content :
You can use the changing season and the growth of plants as a vehicle for conveying the cyclical nature of time.
You can use leaf prints in the classroom which help the kids to observe a tree over the seasons. The leaf prints will show the progression.
The green leaves of summer turn red, then brown, and eventually fall off the tree before coming back to life again in the spring. This is a practical demonstration of the passage of time that the kids can understand.
Though, this may be difficult for kids in schools that run purely Nigerian curriculum because they may not understand the four seasons.
But then, they understand the dry season and rainy season. Use the dry leaves and green leaves to show the passage of time.
By seeing this pattern of time, they begin to understand the concept of time and importance of creating order in what they do.
CREATING SCHEDULE:
You can also teach time management by creating a schedule in school and adhering to that schedule on daily basis. Circle time; reading time, meal time, writing time, singing time, snack time etc.
The kids may not know the exact time for snack, but they know that snack time comes after singing.
This gives them a sense of order and predictability.
