What is a Calendar?
A calendar helps us keep track of days, weeks, and months!
Calendars show us when special days are coming, help us plan activities, and teach us about the passage of time. Each month has about 4 weeks, and each week has 7 days. Let's learn how to read them!
How to Read a Calendar
1️⃣ Find the month - Look at the top to see which month it is
2️⃣ Find the days - Each column is a day of the week (Sunday to Saturday)
3️⃣ Find the dates - The numbers show the day of the month
