Now that Cole is older, it's so much fun to dig in the attic and pull out resources from my teaching days to use in our daily routine. With my first graders, the first 15-20 minutes of our morning were spent doing 'calendar time'. We would all gather on the ABC carpet and go over the day, week, month, holidays, season, weather, math problem of the day, etc. This was also a chance for our Star of the Week to share and go over the schedule for the day.
For about a year, Cole has had his own small, tabletop, wooden calendar in his room where he could change the day of the week and date. Wanting to use my larger calendar from my classroom, we took down his Sight Word Wall from the back of his bedroom door (since he's reading fluently and doesn't need it anymore) and used that for our new calendar space.
We both LOVE it!
