Extension Activities:
*Make blank calendars of Monday-Friday and have the children fill in the days of the week in order. Ask them what their favorite day of the week is and promote discussion.
*Give the children a booklet of 7 pages – one for each day of the week and have the days printed at the top of each page. Let them color a picture on each day; what they think Monday represents, or Tuesday and so on.
