Spring Forward!

Did you know people can time travel? It’s true! This month, people travel one hour into the future.  

This is called Daylight Saving Time. Clocks will move ahead one hour. It happens on Sunday, March 10. The clocks change at 2:00 in the morning. Most states have Daylight Saving Time. Hawaii and Arizona do not.

Why do we have Daylight Saving Time? It has to do with the way Earth moves. There are different amounts of daylight each day. Daylight Saving Time helps us make better use of the daylight. It gives us more daylight at the end of the day. This helps in the spring and summer.

Daylight Saving Time ends in the fall. We move the clocks back. We have more daylight in the morning. In Europe clocks change in October. In the United States the clocks change in November.  

What Do You Think?  What will you do with your extra daylight?
