ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 1 The Word ‘Day’ | Sight Words | Learn to Read with Khan Academy Kids
The word “day” is spelled D-A-Y. It’s a simple word, but it has an important meaning. A day is the time when it’s light outside, between one night and the next. This is when the sun is up, and we can see everything clearly.
During the day, we do many activities because it’s bright outside. For example, I like to play outside when it’s daytime. The sunlight makes it easier to see and enjoy the outdoors. Many people also work, go to school, or do other fun things during the day.
Daytime is important because it gives us light to do our daily tasks. The sun helps plants grow, keeps us warm, and gives us energy. Without the day, it would be hard to do many things we enjoy.
So, next time you see the sun shining, remember that it’s daytime, and it’s a great time to learn, play, and explore!
Sunlight Exploration: Take a walk outside with an adult during the day and observe how sunlight affects the world around you. Notice how the sunlight makes colors brighter and shadows appear. Try to find a sunny spot and a shady spot. How do they feel different? Discuss with your adult what you see and feel in each spot.
Daytime Diary: Keep a simple diary for one week where you draw or write about one thing you do each day when the sun is up. It could be playing a game, reading a book, or helping with chores. At the end of the week, look back at your diary and talk about why these activities are easier or more fun to do during the day.
Plant Power: Plant a small seed in a pot and place it in a sunny spot. Water it regularly and watch how it grows over time. Discuss how the sunlight helps the plant grow and why daytime is important for plants. You can even draw pictures of your plant as it changes!
