How Time Works

Grade levels:

CONTENT STATEMENT

Time can be divided into categories (e.g., months of the year, past, present, and future).

CONTENT ELABORATION

Children continue to build on their understanding of chronological order. Timelines and calendars are introduced in grade two.
Children distinguish between the past, present and future as they talk about events from their own daily lives.
Children begin to use vocabulary that supports their understanding of the divisions of time, such as months of the year, past, present and future.

EXPECTATIONS FOR LEARNING

Use vocabulary correctly to distinguish categories of time.
