Introduction

This Headline Story encourages children to apply what they know about time on a calendar. You may want to ask questions such as, “How many days away is July 4?” or “Is July 4 more than a month or less than a month away?” Use a calendar to help children complete this Headline Story. Children might identify the amount of time until July 4 using months, weeks, and days, or they might figure out the number of weeks and days, or just the number of days.
