This document outlines a teaching unit on the concept of time. It discusses introducing children to the four seasons, months, weeks, days, and times. The unit incorporates different subjects like music, art, German, and math. Children will bring things associated with seasons and months. They will learn the names of months in different languages and discuss holidays. The unit consolidates learning about weekdays in various languages. It assesses children's understanding through a calendar quiz, tests, and children creating their own texts and class calendar. The goals are for children to understand time concepts and connections between months and seasons in an intercultural way.
