O and I have started doing a daily calendar activity each morning. I bought the calendar set from Michael's (I had a 50% off coupon, so it only cost 7 dollars). Since I don't have anywhere to hang the calendar, I put everything on foam core board. I keep it behind the shelf when we are not using it. I laminated the small pieces, and put velcro on the backs of everything that we will change each day. I am really excited about adding calendar time to our routine each day!
Since I have a little extra room on one side of the board, I want to add a "Today I feel..." component. Hopefully, I'll get to it eventually :) I'm excited that the calendar also has a weather component. O enjoys going to look out the window to check the weather before she decides which pictures to choose.
So cool! I like the foam board idea. We were using the back of our island and I had to take it down.

We also laminated pictures of family so that when they come to visit we put their picture on the calendar and can count down the days until they arrive :)
what a great idea to tack it to foam board. Right know I have it attached to the easel, but I like your idea much better.
ReplyDeleteI have something similar on my blog for our prek/k kids. go to www.homeschooling-a-houseful.blogspot.com under the prek/k label. I have some great places with cute pritable calander numbers, headings, months, and holidays. The foam board is a great idea...ours is posterboard
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! I've been wanting to start a calendar with my daughter and you've inspired me to do it!
ReplyDeleteI love this! My son and I have a wooden magnetic calendar that we use as well. It also has the weather on it to.
