In this lesson, students learn how to read a schedule using a story titled “Rodeo Time” by Stuart J. Murphy. The story follows Katie and Cameron as they navigate their tasks at a rodeo, emphasizing time management concepts such as punctuality and creating schedules with key terms like days, weeks, months, year, leap year, and calendar. The narrative serves as a practical example for students to understand the importance of adhering to a schedule in both fictional and real-life scenarios.
