A Quiet Watch

by Martin Shaw

Although my watch can't speak to me,
And say the words I say,
It still tells me what I should do,
And tells me so each day.

It tells me to get up or sleep,
To eat and when to play,
For something that can't speak a word,
It sure has lots to say.

Have the children make paper plate watches with specific times on them. Illustrate lunch time, recess, bed time, etc.
