Calendar Math Binders

Posted in Learning
When I taught Kindergarten I loved doing Calendar time with the children.  They learned so much from that short little routine.  Consequently I've been hoping to integrate it into our school days at home.  I tried a couple of different things with Pickles but it never seemed to work as well at home.  This fall, once again, I was praying for inspiration about how to utilize a calendar time when I discovered this marvelous site explaining calendar binders.

We will use our binders during our morning "group" time.  I'm so excited about this.  It will be just the pattern and routine that Pumpkin needs to solidify some of these early math skills.  I'm hoping to post some photos when I finish assembling them. 

There are so many ways you could add to this too....a Scripture to memorize for the month, etc.

Thank you Father for blessing me again with just what we need when we need it!

I think one way or the other it's really important. My step-daughter is entering 5th grade and has some holes including problems with which months are which and how many days they have. The calendar is a real hands-on important skill I think.
