 Regardless of your group size, you must:
 
 * Create an HTML page which, when loaded, displays a calendar.
-* The calendar must show every day of the current month, each as a rectangle. Each row of rectangles must show one week. The first column must show Mondays. The first day of the month must be shown in the first row.
+* The calendar must show every day of the current month, each as a rectangle. Each row of rectangles must show one week. The first column must show Sundays. The first day of the month must be shown in the first row.
 * There must be two buttons which, when clicked, switch what is displayed. One button must change the display to the previous month. The other button must change the display to the next month. On repeated clicks, these buttons must keep moving back/forwards in time, one month per click.
   * These buttons must work on every month. There should be no first/last months beyond which you can't press previous/next and have them work.
 * There must be a way to jump to a particular month and year, e.g. "October 2020". For example, you could use a `<select>` tag for each of the month name and a reasonable range of years.
