Starting Wednesday, September 1, each day the children will record calendar information in their personal calendar folders. They will record the day of school (September 1 will be day 10) along with the day of the month (both in numbers and tally marks.) They will also record the weather, who lost a tooth, and any birthdays.
The calendar folders will be accumulative, adding new sheets for each month as we move through the school year. The calendar folders will help create a greater awareness of both calendar and number concepts.
Every now and then, ask your child a calendar question, such as:
How many days have you been in school?
What month is it?
What day of the week is it?
What year is it?
What is the season?
