Long Days, Short Days

Read a table of daylight hours: summer days are longer than winter days.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

What children learn in Level 16

Days aren't the same length all year. A table can show how many hours of daylight each month gets.
In winter, days are short, and nights are long. Look at January: only 10 hours of daylight, and 14 hours of night.
In summer, days are long, and nights are short. June gets about 14 hours of daylight!
In spring and fall, day and night are about the same: about 12 hours each, in March and September.
That's a pattern that repeats every year: days grow longer toward summer, then shorter toward winter.
