Calendars

Teaching Tip Tuesday: Calendars, Calendars, Calendars!

It seems like every business has a calendar to give away for the new year.

I love it!  I get enough for each kiddo in my classroom!

The calendar is used to teach math concepts,it can help teach, extend, and reinforce a multitude of skills in other areas of the curriculum: time concepts and sequencing, language arts,social studies, and science, 


What I like best...I don't have to copy it and it has cool pictures and sometimes I make copies of the kiddos to add to the the picture landscape!


Some of the endless activities are...


Mark the first days of each season 


The day’s weather. Draw a sun, dark cloud, cloud and raindrops, snow, etc. on

the day’s date.

Moon phases


Record the day’s temperature early in the morning and afternoon


Birthdays of classmates


Dates of special events and observances on the calendar. 

  I often use stickers to help 

Start out your new year with a new calendar for each kiddo!
