Family Friday: Calendar Sense (with Seven Days of the Week)

What is calendar sense, and why is it important?

Calendar sense is the understanding and knowledge of the organization of time into days, weeks, months, and years. It involves mathematical thinking about the sequence of days, the number of days in each month, the months of the year, and the number of days in a year. Calendar sense is an important part of a child's mathematical and organizational development, and can also help improve their understanding of time and its role in daily life.

3. Encourage agency for household chores.
