Days of the Week

• Monday: The start of the week, often a busy day with school or work.
• Tuesday: Still early in the week, but you're getting into the swing of things.
• Wednesday: Sometimes called "hump day" because it's in the middle of the week.
• Thursday: Getting closer to the weekend, maybe you have some after-school activities.
• Friday: Woohoo! It's Friday! Time to relax and have fun because the weekend is here.
• Saturday: No school or work today! Time for hobbies, hanging out with friends, or family time.
• Sunday: A day to rest, maybe do some chores, and get ready for the week ahead.

Dates

• Numbers: Dates are the numbers we use to show which day of the month it is.
• Months: Each month has its own dates, from 1 to 28, 30, or 31.
• Examples: January 1st, February 2nd, March 3rd, and so on.

Combining Days and Dates:

• Day + Date: When you put a day and a date together, you get something like "Monday, February 13th."
• This tells you it's the 13th day of February, and it's a Monday.

Fun Fact - Leap Years:

• Every four years, we have a leap year, where we add an extra day to February.
• Leap Day: February 29th is called "Leap Day," and it's kind of special because it only happens once every four years.

Days and Dates refer to understanding and calculating the days of the week corresponding to specific dates and vice versa. It involves applying the concepts of calendars and understanding the relationship between days, months, and years.

How to Find the Day of the Week:

• You can use simple methods to find what day of the week a specific date falls on.
• Or you can just look at a calendar!

Calculating Days Between Dates:

• To find out how many days are between two dates, just count the days between them, including the starting day but not the ending day.

Example:

• If May 5th is Monday and we want to find out what day May 10th is, we count: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. So, May 10th is also a Friday!
