Introduction

This Headline Story encourages children to show what they know about calendars. For example, some children know that a month is about 30 days. Others simply know that a week is a shorter time than a month. You might want to ask estimation questions to prompt discussion, such as “Is 50 less than the number of days in a month?” or “If there are 3 days of school left, is that closer to a week or a month?”
