For the last 9 years I have used a calendar folder and board to teach basic calendar concepts. Like so many teachers my board is set up pretty standard with months, days, days we've been in school, weather, hundreds chart, etc.
Along with teaching calendar each morning the students have a calendar folder with the same skills as the board and a few extra activities. I've always felt this repetition is vital to helping students learn such an abstract concept. But with common core and the amount of time we have to teach so many other things we dropped our calendar folders this year and just stuck with the board. It always felt like something was missing so I began thinking of a way to create a calendar page where everything I could think of was on one page rather than taking up so much time to do an entire folder each day. So here we go...I think a great review of calendar skills that can be done either everyday or once a week. Check it out at my teachers store by clicking here
Your calendar page looks wonderful Michelle!
