Dear Humans,

Some people question whether kids should learn how to read an analog clock because you always have a digital clock in your pocket. And I guess that’s true.

But I love analog clocks. Because, like time itself, an analog clock is a circle. It just keeps coming back around itself, in a cycle, just like nature. That tree with green leaves will soon be bare and a few months later will be white with blooms. Time after time after time.

So even though it might not be a “21st century skill” we’re going to be reading clocks today. Just like humans have done for hundreds of years. And I bet you’ll feel a little closer to the rhythms of nature while you do it.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
