Six pages about the parts of a day, shown by three skies: the sun coming up for morning, the sun high in the sky for afternoon, and the moon and stars for night. On page 1 children circle the sky for when we do each thing, like waking up or looking at the stars, and on page 2 they draw a line from each picture to its sky. Page 3 shows three things from one day: children write 1, 2 and 3 to put them in order. Pages 4 and 5 compare how long two things take: circle the one that takes longer, then the one that takes less time. Page 6 has no one right answer: children draw something they do in the morning, the afternoon and at night. Every page but the last starts with a worked example.
Read the words under each picture aloud as you point to it. Before page 1, walk through your class's own day: what do we do when the sun comes up, after lunch, when it is dark? Lunch is the middle of the day: before lunch is the morning, after lunch is the afternoon. Before pages 4 and 5, time something short with a sand timer, like washing hands, and compare it with something long, like the whole school day.
At dinner, talk about the day: what did you do this morning, this afternoon, and what will you do tonight? Ask which takes longer, the trip to school or brushing your teeth.

The parts of a day, morning, afternoon and night, and how long the things we do take. Children tell when we do everyday things, put the events of a day in order, circle which of two things takes longer or less time, and draw their own day.
