Days of the Week

How many days are in a week?

A week has seven days: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Then a new week starts again.

Today is the day it is right now. Yesterday was the day before today. Tomorrow is the day after today.

In the United States, many calendars start the week on Sunday. Saturday and Sunday are called the weekend.
