Calendars and dates are super important! They help us plan fun things like birthday parties, visits with friends, and special events. They also help us remember important activities, like soccer games or summer camp.
A calendar is like a big chart that shows all the days in a year. There are different types of calendars: yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily. Most calendars show one month at a time, but some show the whole year, which usually has 365 days.
A year is based on how the Earth moves around the Sun. Every four years, we add an extra day to the year, making it a leap year with 366 days. A year is divided into 12 months, and each month has 28, 29, 30, or 31 days. The names of the months come from how the moon moves around the Earth.
There are 52 weeks in a year, and each week has seven days. Each day has a special name, and there are 24 hours in one day.
Do you know the month of your birthday? Here’s a list of all the months and how many days they have:
There are four months with 30 days and seven months with 31 days. When you add them all up, you get 365 days, unless it’s a leap year, which has 366 days.
Each week starts on Sunday. The days of the week are: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Weekdays are Monday through Friday, and weekends are Saturday and Sunday.
Sometimes, you need to write the date for schoolwork or other reasons. There are different ways to write the date, and you can choose the one you like best:
Including the day of the week can help people plan better!
A monthly calendar shows the month at the top. For example, December has 31 days, each shown in a little square. There are seven days in each week, and sometimes a week will include days from two different months.

Calendars and dates are important for many reasons. You may need to plan a birthday party, visit a friend, attend a special event, or remember dates for activities like soccer games or summer camp.
So, what exactly is a calendar? A calendar is a chart that shows the different days of the year. There are yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily calendars. Most calendars display one month at a time, but some show the entire year, which typically has 365 days.
A year is based on the Earth’s rotation around the Sun. Every four years, an extra day is added, creating a leap year with 366 days. A calendar year is divided into 12 months, with each month containing 28, 29, 30, or 31 days, depending on the month. The months are named based on the moon’s rotation around the Earth.
There are also 52 weeks in a year, with each week lasting seven days. Each day has a different name, and there are 24 hours in a single day.
To help remember the different time periods:
– One day equals 24 hours
– One week equals seven days
– One month has 28 to 31 days
– One year has 365 days or 366 in a leap year
You probably know the month of your birthday, but here’s a list of each month and their number of days:
– January: 31 days
– February: 28 or 29 days (29 in a leap year)
– March: 31 days
– April: 30 days
– May: 31 days
– June: 30 days
– July: 31 days
– August: 31 days
– September: 30 days
– October: 31 days
– November: 30 days
– December: 31 days
There are four months with 30 days and seven months with 31 days. If you add all the days together, they equal 365 days, unless it’s a leap year, which has 366 days.
Each week begins on Sunday. The days of the week in order are: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Weekdays are Monday through Friday, while weekends are Saturday and Sunday.
Sometimes, you need to write the date for assignments or other reasons. There are different methods to write the date, and while one way may be preferred, you can usually choose how to format it.
Here are a few ways to write the date:
– Month, Day, Year
– Numerical format: Month/Day/Year
Including the day of the week can help people plan better.
Parts of a calendar:
An example of a monthly calendar shows the month at the top. For instance, December has 31 days, each represented in a square. There are seven days in each week, and sometimes a week will include parts of two months.
You may notice that days are often shown as abbreviations to save space.
What might be missing from this calendar? That’s right, the year! Sometimes a monthly calendar does not show the year, indicating that it refers to the current year.
