Quick tip: Calendar time

November 25, 2011 Ticia 3 Comments

Use double sided calendar cards (or just use single-sided ones, but double sided have more interest), and when it actually reaches that day turn it around.
Okay for whatever reason this has really helped my kids with keeping what day it is straight and they really like turning the card around.

I’ve tried adding in the days as we reach it and since we’re not good about doing calendar every day (how was I so good at it when teaching and not now?) it rather confuses them.  This is BRILLIANT!  If I do say so myself.

    I agree completely with you … this is brilliant! What a creative way to take the boredom out of daily calendar practice. Thanks for sharing!

    Boy, I HEAR ya on how difficult it is to do Calendar Time every day when you homeschool, as opposed to doing it in the “regular” classroom…we only seem to get yo ours one to three times a week!
