Understanding the Calendar
Did you know?
Our calendar has 12 months, and each month has either 28, 30, or 31 days. February is special because it has 28 days (and 29 in a leap year)! Let's learn a fun way to remember how many days are in each month.
🌟 The Month Days Rhyme 🌟
Thirty days has September,

And twenty-nine in each leap year!
