“To participate meaningfully in calendar activities, young children must understand that time is sequential. The sequences include yesterday, today, and tomorrow; morning, afternoon, and evening; Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and so on. Children must also be able to conceptualize before and after, and think about future and past events. Thus, young children can talk about things that have happened or will happen, but they cannot yet understand or talk about these events in terms of units of time (days, weeks) or sequence.“
-Sallee J. Beneke, Michaelene M. Ostrosky, and Lilian G. Katz
