Now this is a little more school-ish than we normally do, but I noticed there were a few things my girls needed to work on concerning the months, dates, etc. I just don’t really want to give up the wall space to put up a calendar area! I decided this would work perfectly for a morning calendar time. I loved the idea, because I don’t have a calendar area set-up in our schoolroom. This summer, I ran across this post about making a calendar notebook over at Mama Jenn’s and this post from Mrs. You can find the directions for using them in the post below! You can also purchase one for a classroom/co-op/church/daycare here(this gives you the ability to make multiple copies legally).

The resource includes several choices for this page.Īfter the girls finish their name and hands-on page, we are ready to officially begin our calendar time together! We sill start with the months of the year, move to the days of the week, and then the weather.īefore wrapping up calendar time I like to include some math skills practice! In this resource, you will find a TON of simple math mats that you can pick and choose from to get in some practice together.**Update: Several years ago I shared these free calendar binder printables, and I have had tons of requests to update them for this year!įind the latest 2022-2023 FREE Calendar Binders here (in color or B&W). This gives me a second to get ready and gives them a chance to ease into the day. One thing that I absolutely LOVE about this binder is that I included a page for independent start! Each day when it’s time to start our homeschool block my girls can pull out their binder and work on their name and chat sheet first.

#October calendar for binfer how to
In this resource, I share details on how to set up the binder, give an outline for a calendar routine, share tips, and provide all the printable pages for your calendar time. Nonetheless, my youngest who is 3 will join the fun with our routine, we sing songs, include movment, and lots of conversational vocabulary. If you do have young preschoolers I highly suggest looking into a linear calendar (it’s like a number line). Young children don’t really have a concept of time so don’t expect them to master or fully understand the concepts you’re teaching. I think exposure to traditional calendar time is awesome (so many skills being learned), but please keep in mind that with younger preschoolers a traditional calendar time is pretty abstract. *Note: For the sake of just doing one calendar time at our house, I will be doing this routine with both my girls (ages 3 and 5) together. It follows a predictable routine and includes everything you need to create and set-up a simple, clear calendar routine. This calendar binder is geared for kindergarten (& pre-k age 4) children. You can totally follow this routine just as is (out loud – talking and singing through) but this year since my oldest is starting kindergarten, I decided to create a CALENDAR BINDER!!! I like to follow a simple clear calendar routine that can be done in about 5-10 minutes each day. Calendar time has always been a favorite of ours and just something my girls have come to enjoy. In comes CALENDAR TIME! Yep, good old calendar time will definitely have a place in our day. I know this isn’t the way everyone homeschools, but for our routine-oriented family, I know it will work. It’s important to me that the girls have a consistent, familiar routine that they know signals our homeschool time. Since we are traditional homeschooling (for 2020) I knew I wanted a predictable way to start our homeschool block each day. Now that we’ve got our daily routine ready to go ( you can read about it here) it’s time to really take a look at our homeschool block this year and the parts that make it up!
