A Typical Day

This is how my friend spends their day:

sunny morning
  • They wake up early in the morning, get dressed, and enjoy a nice breakfast
  • It's then time to head off to school, ready for a day of learning
  • In the middle of the day, they enjoy a delicious lunch
  • In the afternoon, they travel back home from school
  • Play with Dog, and then some fruit makes a great afternoon snack
  • Afterwards it's time for homework, followed by playtime for some fun and relaxation
  • Just as the sun sets, they have an evening meal with family, sharing stories of the day
  • Then it's time for some screen time, perhaps a favorite show or playing games
  • Finally, some peaceful reading is the perfect way to wind down before going to sleep

Days Have Names

There are seven different days:

  • Monday
  • Tuesday
  • Wednesday
  • Thursday
  • Friday
  • Saturday
  • Sunday

7 days together make a Week.
