There's always enough time.
It may not feel like it. With the demands of everyday life continuing to move forward, time feels like it's slipping away. While we believe in living in the moment, we also want to ensure that we are planning time to get away to capture life's adventures.
When planning for time, one of the most unrated learning experiences is how to write dates and times. In America, we utilize the 12 hour AM/PM clock format and month/day/year.
If you start traveling outside the US, and you don't understand there is a difference, you're going to make mistakes.
To start, the format for writing dates is day/month/year. While it's a small change, it really makes a difference planning in the early months of summer. Booking a tour on July 8th, only to find out you booked it on August 7th, can really impact your trip.

It allows you to teach a variety of concepts within one structure and gives meaning to the amount of time in the day. Not to mention, there are a lot of jobs that require the use of International Time in order to be effective an accurate,
If you're unfamiliar with International time, there are a lot of resources out there. We have created one that you can find here that you can use in your classroom or with your own child. The clock starts at :00 which in AM/PM is 12:00 AM or Midnight. From there, :30 become 12:30 AM, 1:00 is 1:00 AM, and so on and said as O One hundred. At 12:00 PM or noon, the clock continues similar to AM/PM until 1:00 PM. This is written as 13:00, and said as 13:00 hundred hours. This pattern continues for the remainder of the day. Two hours after 12:00 PM is 14:00 hours or 2:00 PM.
