Calendar

Students are into our calendar routine each morning. We sing the days of the week and months of the year; we review today, tomorrow, and yesterday; we say the date in English and Spanish. We also keep track of the days of school and the weather. A student records the weather on a monthly graph. November has been much nicer than October! Another student adds a straw to our collection each day to record how many days we've been in school (56!) We count to 56 by 10s and 1s using straws, and again using dimes and pennies. Then we count to 56 by ones. The number gets bigger everyday! Counting by 1s, 5s, 10s, or even 2s, is something you can do in the car or while you're making dinner.
