God keep our land, glorious and free. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. French Version O Canada! Terre de nos aïeux, Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux! Car ton bras sait porter l épée, Il sait porter la croix! Ton histoire est une épopée Des plus brillants exploits. Et ta valeur, de foi trempée, Protégera nos foyers et nos droits. Protégera nos foyers et nos droits. National Anthem O say can you see, by the dawn s early light, What so proudly we hail d at the twilight s last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight O er the ramparts we watch d were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there, O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Learning How to Tell Time Our ancestors had to rely on the stars to estimate the time. Fortunately, we have clocks! The front of the clock is called the FACE. The pieces that move around the face are called the HANDS. The small hand tells what hour it is. The big hand tells the minutes. The hour hand goes around the face twice in 1 day. 60 seconds = 1 minute 60 minutes = 1 hour 24 hours = 1 day 365 days = 1 year 10 years = 1 decade 100 years = 1 century Draw Your Own Clock Practice telling time by drawing your own clock. What would your clock look like if it was 5:00? Use the empty circle beside as your guide.
