Calendar Time and Notebook

This year I'm using a different approach to calendar time. Logan has the days of the week and the months of the year down but needs a little work on next week, next Monday, last week, last month. I am also including Lain in our calendar time this year.

We are using a combination of Mama Jenn's notebook and 1+1+1=1's calendar board with a few tweaks here and there. Logan will be doing the notebook as well as helping Lain with the board. Mama Jenn has detailed explanations on how to make the boards and she even has video of her and her boys doing it so you can see exactly how it works. Her songs are a HUGE hit especially the Adam's Family song. 1+1+1=1 has links to the notebook pages for downloading.



I really am happy with the way our board turned out. I love the color of the day and the shape of the day for Lain. As an extra activity, I have him run around our school room and point to all the things that are the color and the shape. He yells out "BLUE!" or TRIANGLE!" I love how excited he is. I try and have him do this throughout the rest of the day like if we are driving down the road I ask him if he can find the color and shape. It's really fun for him.

We still will be using our calendar I got last year to put up each day and talk about yesterday and tomorrow.



So far the calendar board is a great start to our school day.
