Default One quick question

I was speculating on how the year, month, and day were all determined
by celestial movements. My teacher at school says that weeks are the
odd ones out but...
Is it possible that weeks were formed to end/start at every quarter of
the moon seeing how it takes ~28 days for the moon to rotate and 28/7=4
evenly. I would appreciate if anyone answered this one.
