Morning is when the sun comes up and we wake. Afternoon is when the sun is high. Night is dark, with the moon and stars.
Key idea
A day goes morning, then afternoon, then night.
For the grown-up: Talk about the time of day often: “It’s morning, time for breakfast.” Look out the window at the same time each day. Notice when it gets dark. Stop while it is still fun. Then go and play the real-life version.
- Try it at home: Name the time of day at each meal.
- Look at the sky in the morning and at night.
- Draw a morning picture and a night picture.
