Dear visitor,

It seems obvious, but the first step to teaching kids
about the calendar is to make sure we explain to
them what a calendar is.
A calendar is a series of pages that shows the days,
weeks, and months of a particular year. It is a tool
we use to help us keep track of each day, and
allows us to visually see when different events
will happen.
The next step is to teach kids how to read a
calendar. This could be split up into 4 different
lessons.
The objectives to cover in this lesson are:
each square represents one day a group of 7
days in a row is called a week one week is equal
to 7 days each day of the week has a name show
where the names of the days of the week are
shown on a calendar each square in a column
under the name of a day of the week represents 1
day with that name.
i.e. all squares under Wednesday represent 1
Wednesday
“If we are this day” (point to a square),
“1 week later would be” (point to square
underneath) ask them which square would be 2 weeks later, or
3 weeks later explain that a square above shows
1 week ago (in the past) ask them which square
would be 2 weeks ago or another number of
weeks ago
Today’s objective is to work on learning the order
of the days of the week and also to realize that the
days go in a continuous cycle (i.e. after Sunday is
Monday again).
The goal of today is to spend a few minutes learning
the order of the months of the year. Mastery isn’t the
goal, it’s just to spend time working on this skill.
Think of it more as an introduction.
Not to worry if your kids aren’t experts at reading the
calendar by the end of those 4 short lessons. The
concept of time is something that is taught over time.
So with that in mind, we do daily calendar time.
There are a variety of benefits of daily calendar time:
it takes only a few short minutes each day it’s an
enjoyable part of the day a bit of writing practice
solid math skills are being mastered skills are
learned best when they apply to child’s real life
