Days of the week

Social Studies

• The child has learned the names and order of the days of the week.
• They have learned the concept of a week as a cycle of seven days.
• The child understands the concept of weekdays and weekends.
• They have learned that different activities are associated with different days of the week.

To continue developing their understanding of days of the week, you can encourage the child to create a daily routine chart. They can draw or write the activities they typically do each day and place them in the corresponding day of the week. This will help reinforce the concept and also assist in developing time management skills.
