Florence is very interested in passing time. Since about a month, I've made this little material from the book http://www.editionsmilan.com/1fa55f27/Temps-qui-passe-Le.html #
Every day it changes clothespin place. This allows it to locate in time: it Saturday we go to the pool. Saturday is in three days. That Wednesday I went to see grandpa and grandma. Wednesday was yesterday. Here we are again this morning ....
She also begins to read the time (the hour hand only for now) since she can read the numbers.
course learning the passing of time does not happen overnight.
From infancy, I tried to follow a daily ritual by explaining to children the day's program. In the morning we get up, then have lunch, then we washed and dressed, then we play or we go to school and it's finally lunch. The morning is over, now we are in the afternoon. First there is the siesta and then we taste, we play a little, then it's bath time, we eat, we wash our teeth and go to bed. Now it is night, we sleep.
This allows the child to identify gradually in the course of the day.
I also used the sequential images. You will find in abundance here:

The child learns to order the elements in time ( pre / post) and look the other way he represents himself the passage of time in space (from left to right).
I also regularly tells their life to children, supporting photographs that I order from left to right. They love it. So they see that they were baby learned to walk with 4 legs first, then standing, they have grown up ..... to become the child they are today. This is a first approach to the concept of "past".
We also talk about seasons. I have a little game of bingo as Florence likes especially around the seasons. We observe the changes of nature in every season, we talk about events related to the seasons (Christmas, birthday, major holidays, picking apples ...)
When my daughter spotted well in time of day (morning, afternoon, evening), and she has a passion for days of the week but with some difficulty to find, I offered this table. She uses and enjoys spontaneously orient themselves in time. I think that during the year, I'll show her what a month creating a frieze of the month from ephemerides (calendars that these small caterpillars strip every day ....). When she returns to a large section, it is likely to be ready to use the beam time (this was certainly the case for his brother) and she discovers what actually one year - a true miracle Montessori for his big brother when the beam was spread along the corridor. He exclaimed: "It's long like that, one year !!!!!!" beam and used his two years in a row with a real fun (especially when it counted the days between it and a big event).

I can not wait, but that is another story, do not rush things, Time goes so fast already!
