Learn to Tell Time In Fun-Filled

  • 04/01/96

With TimeTown, children learn to tell time by experiencing morning, noon, evening and night. "Hot spots" in the environment -- such as a statue, flag and newspaper office -- can be clicked to show activities that usually occur during a certain time of day. Clicking on the sun causes it to move across the sky, thereby changing the time. Plus, a Grandfather Clock sings and dances to help kids remember hours, half-hours and minutes. In J'e's Garage, video clips describe holidays and seasons. Students test their knowledge about time in Turtle Races, where correct answers move them around the track. Steck-Vaughn Co., Austin, TX, (512) 343-8227. WM
