Let’s explore the concept of the number of days in a month in a kid-friendly way!
Imagine a calendar is like a big puzzle, and each piece of the puzzle is a month. But here’s the tricky part: not all months have the same number of days! Some months are short, and some are long.
Let’s start with January. It’s the first month of the year, and it has 31 days. That’s a lot of days to have fun and learn new things!
Now, February is a bit special. It’s the shortest month, and it usually has 28 days. But sometimes, in a leap year, February gets an extra day, making it 29 days long. Leap years happen every four years, like a little bonus for February!
March, April, May, June, July, August, October, and December each have 31 days, just like January. They’re the long months.
September is the odd one out in the long months; it only has 30 days.
So, to remember the number of days in each month, you can sing a little rhyme: “30 days have September, April, June, and November. All the rest have 31, except February alone, which has 28 days clear and 29 in each leap year!”
Exploring calendars is like solving a fun puzzle, and now you know the secret code of how many days are in each month!
