What are A.M. and P.M.?
Time is divided into two parts: A.M. and P.M.!
A.M. means "before noon" - that's when the sun rises and we do our morning activities.
P.M. means "after noon" - that's when the sun is high in the sky or setting, and we do afternoon and
evening activities.
Let's Learn Together!
1️⃣ A.M. is for morning time (from midnight to noon)
2️⃣ P.M. is for afternoon and evening (from noon to midnight)
3️⃣ Nighttime is P.M. too!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Point out A.M. and P.M. times during daily routines - "It's 8 A.M., time for breakfast!" or "It's 7 P.M., time for bed!"
- Use a visual daily schedule with A.M. and P.M. sections to help your child understand the flow of the day.
- Play "morning or night" games by describing activities and having your child guess if they're A.M. or P.M.
