Calendar Time

So if you are friend of mine on Facebook or Instagram, you will remember I posted this picture a week or two back...

Well here is the long over due explanation of our Calendar Time Notebook.  I felt like we might need to start some Calendar Time with Bella.  After doing it for about a month, I have realized she is not QUITE ready for it.  She liked doing it initially and did well with it, but quickly got bored with it.  So we have put it on the back burner for a couple of months and will come back to it as she matures.

So when you open it up this is what you see.  On the left are the envelopes that hold all pieces to the pages.  I used velcro dots to fasten the pieces.

So here is the first page.  It is about weather and seasons.  I laminated the actual page.  So I had to tape the Charts onto a page, and then add the stickers, laminate then add velcro dots.

Then she would work on the month format and would write the days number with a dry erase marker.

The next page worked on "Today is."  Also on the bottom we would sing the Days of the week song and she would find where yesterday was, today is and tomorrow is.

The we worked on a color of the day.  She got to pick the color and would then go around the house looking for items that matched the days color.

Next she worked on a shape and whatever the letter we were working on for the day.

In the back I kept extra pieces that would not be used regularly.

The places I got all of our stuff from are the following websites:
