| Summary |
"The Blackboard Clock: Device Desk Book for the Primary Teacher, for teaching pupils in First Year and Kindergarten Grades how to tell the time of day by the clock, and Time Drill" by Eva Aldrich is an educational guide written in the early 1890s. This instructional publication is designed specifically for primary teachers, focusing on teaching young children how to read the time on a clock. It combines practical activities with theoretical knowledge, aiming to equip educators with the tools to effectively convey the concept of time to young learners. The book outlines a series of structured exercises and drills to help children understand how to tell time. Aldrich emphasizes hands-on learning, encouraging teachers to create a blackboard clock as a visual aid, complete with hour and minute hands. The guide provides clear step-by-step instructions, outlining how to introduce concepts such as counting to sixty, differentiating between hour and minute hands, and understanding the significance of terms like "quarter past" and "half past." Furthermore, it incorporates various drills aimed at developing a sense of time, punctuality, and sequence, ultimately fostering good habits and order in classroom settings. The overall approach is designed to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that children grasp the importance of time in their daily lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
