Skill: Read a calendar

A calendar helps you find when something happens.

• The names across the top are the weekdays.
• Each row has one week.
• There are $7$ days in one week.
• Find a date by looking at its month, number, and weekday column.

Use this June calendar:

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
1	2	3	4	5	6	7
8	9	10	11	12	13	14
15	16	17	18	19	20	21
22	23	24	25	26	27	28
29	30

Example: Mia goes to the library on June 12. What weekday is June 12? What is the date one week later?

Step 1: Find the number 12.
The number $12$ is in the Thursday column.
So, June 12 is a Thursday.

Step 2: Move one week later.
One week is $7$ days. Move to the next row in the same column:

$$12+7=19$$

One week after June 12 is June 19, which is also a Thursday.

Remember:

• The day before a date is yesterday.
• The day after a date is tomorrow.
• A date $7$ days later is next week.
• A date $7$ days earlier is last week.
