Daylight Saving Time is Ending

You’ll get an extra hour of sleep this weekend! Daylight saving time ends for most of the U.S. on November 4.

Daylight saving time isn’t observed everywhere in the United States. Some places, like American Samoa, Hawaii and most of Arizona, don’t change their clocks. For those places that do observe it, though, the law says that people must set their clocks back one hour to standard time at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday in November. This Sunday, the sun will set an hour earlier. During daylight saving time, there’s less light in the morning and more light in the evening.

What is daylight saving time? Get the scoop in this News Bite.

Spend your extra hour this weekend reading a good book! Get recommendations from other kids on the DogEared Books Blog.

    Daylight saving time might make me take more hours of walking.
