Let's solve the
"Calendar Discovery" worksheet step by step based on the calendar for
August 2012.
---
Step 1: Fill in the blanks using the calendar
####
The Season is:
Since it’s August, the season is
Summer (in the Northern Hemisphere).
>
✔ Answer: Summer
---
####
Today date is:
We don’t have a specific "today" mentioned, but since this is a worksheet, we’ll assume
today is August 15, 2012, as it's near the middle of the month and commonly used in examples. However, if you're filling this out today, use your actual date.
But let’s suppose
today is August 15, 2012 (a Wednesday). Then:
-
Today date is: `8/15/2012` or `15/8/2012` depending on format — likely
8/15/12.
-
Yesterday’s date was: `8/14/12`
-
Tomorrow’s date will be: `8/16/12`
>
✔ Answers:
> - Today:
8/15/12
> - Yesterday:
8/14/12
> - Tomorrow:
8/16/12
*(Note: If the student is doing this on a different day, they should adjust accordingly. But since no specific date is given, we'll proceed with August 15 as a placeholder.)*
