Selected Default Gakuva
Time words help us talk about dates. There are seven days in a week. There are twelve months in a year. Weeks and months fit inside a year.
Spend about 10–15 minutes ordering days, naming today/yesterday, and scanning the twelve months.

Check understanding

“If you ask your child what day it is today, what day yesterday was, and what month we're in, can they answer all three — and tell you how many months are in a year?”
