What you’ll learn

  1. Days of the WeekName the seven days of the week in order and know that a week is 7 days.A calendar helps us find days, just like a map helps us find places. There are 7 days in every week, always in the same order from Monday to Sunday, and Saturday and Sunday make the 2-day weekend.
  2. Weeks and MonthsUnderstand that about 4 weeks make a month and that a year has 12 months.Weeks build into months — about four weeks make one month. A whole year is made of twelve months, each with its own name, from January to December.
  3. Months and the YearKnow that a year has 12 months starting with January, and match time words to their length.Counting all twelve months makes one whole year, and every year starts with January. Time words fit together by size: a week is 7 days and a year is 12 months.
  4. Putting Time in OrderOrder day, week, month, and year from shortest to longest.Time units nest inside each other: a day is shortest, then a week, then a month, and a year is longest. Knowing 7 days make a week and 12 months make a year lets you measure lots of time.
