6. Color the numbers on the calendar. Color weekends blue and weekdays yellow.
This is a coloring task — you don’t need to write an answer here. But just so you know:
- Weekends = Saturday (S) and Sunday (S) → color those dates
blue
- Weekdays = Monday to Friday → color those dates
yellow
For example:
- Jan 1 (Monday) → yellow
- Jan 5 (Friday) → yellow
- Jan 6 (Saturday) → blue
- Jan 7 (Sunday) → blue
...and so on.
You’ll do this directly on your worksheet.
