Monday to Sunday: Days of the Week

About This Resource

A complete Grade 1 ESL pack on the days of the week: saying and spelling the seven days, putting them in order, today, tomorrow and yesterday, weekdays and the weekend, and talking about what we do each day. Includes a lesson plan, worksheet, quiz, homework, A5 flashcards, a rubric, detailed slides with speaker notes, Word files and answer keys.

Overview

Children learn the seven days of the week with a song, flashcards and a class calendar. They put the days in order, learn that every day starts with a capital letter, use today, tomorrow and yesterday ("Today is Monday. Tomorrow is Tuesday."), sort weekdays and the weekend, and talk about what they do on different days.

Classroom Activity Ideas

Human week: seven children hold day cards and the class puts them in order.
What's missing? Hide one day card and children say which day is missing.
Calendar helper: each morning a child says "Today is …, tomorrow is …, yesterday was …."

Differentiation

Support: focus on saying the days in order with the song before reading and writing. Challenge: children write a sentence for each day about what they do.

Assessment

Worksheet activities 1 to 5 and the quiz check order and vocabulary. Use the rubric for the my week writing in activity 6.

Teacher Tips

Use the calendar every day. Saying "Today is …, yesterday was …, tomorrow is …" each morning builds the words faster than any single lesson.
