2020, a leap year !

Hi everyone!
Yes, 2020 is a leap year.
It means that this year has 366 days because there are 29 days in February.
This extraordinary fact happens every 4 years. 
But, how to remember numbers of days in each month?
First, encouraging our students to learn the poem below.
They will remember it their entire life. 
Furthermore, they can use their knuckles making a fist and starting with the 1st knuckle as January. If the month is on a knuckle, it has 31 days. Once you get to the fourth knuckle, July, start over at the first knuckle for August.

Also, If you want to motivate and encourage students who have done the effort to study it, you can use Tellagami. It is an easy app to use in the classroom.
Look at this example. You are going to watch and listen to a student who learnt it by heart.
