A.M. and P.M.:

Learning objective: Students will be able to know the difference

between A.M. and P.M.

 A.M. is the first half of the day. We call it the morning. It starts

at midnight and ends at noon. A.M. stands for Ante-Meridiem.

Example: wake up at 7:00 a.m., eat breakfast at 7:30 a.m. and go

to school at 8:30 a.m. All these things happen in the a.m.

 P.M. is the second half of the day. It starts at noon and ends

at midnight. The afternoon and the evening belong to this half of the

day. P.M. stands for Post Meridiem.

Example: eat lunch at 12:30 p.m., go home from school

at 3:00 p.m., eat dinner at 6:00 p.m. and go to bed at 8:30 p.m. All

these things happen in the PM.
