Stop! Don’t throw away those old calendars! There is so much you
can do with a calendar to reinforce academic skills. Here are a
few suggestions:
1. Writing – Use the pictures as story starters by having
children write an original story, poem, or song centered around
them.
2. Art – Cut out the pictures and use them to make your own
greeting cards. Write original sayings to go inside.
3. Classification – Have a selection of different kinds of
pictures available so your children can sort them according to
general similarities…all pets, all cars, all buildings, etc.
Older children can sort them into more specific categories such
as sports cars, SUV’s, etc.
4. Flash Cards – Make your own by putting a picture on one side
and writing the word on the other. For older children, write a
sentence including the word. Have children make their own flash
cards! (NOTE: Cut out the numbers to make math flash cards.)
5. Left-to-Right Progression – As you teach young children the
days of the week, always point out that you are starting from
the left and going to the right.
6. Days and Dates – Ask questions that review days, dates, and
ordinal numbers. For instance, which day of the week is the
third? What is the date of the fourth Wednesday? When does
Autumn begin (day and date)? Which holiday is on September 5?
7. Math – Ask questions to review before and after. For
instance, what will the date be five days after Labor Day? What
will that day be? If National Farm Animals Awareness Week is
September 18, what was the date nine days earlier? Which day of
the week was it? What would the sum be if you add the dates of
all Tuesdays in the month? For older children, make it a 2-part
problem and have them subtract from, multiply, or divide the
answer. Using the dates of the calendar, what is the difference
of the last Friday and the second Friday? Are you multiplying,
yet? Skip color all the boxes in multiples of 8, for instance.
You would then have boxes numbered 8, 16, and 24 filled in.
Since you will have several days left over, children can learn
the term ‘remainders’ and get ready for division!
8. Reading – Alphabetize all the holidays and special days. How
many syllables are in each name? List the holidays, then the
special days. Which countries are represented? Do some research
and find out more about unfamiliar days.
I hope these ideas have been useful and have ignited your own
creativity.
And remember…Reading is FUNdamental!
