Calendar

The children lead the class in the calendar activities. We do all of the work on the Smartboard. The students are very good at manipulating the pages. If children  have trouble moving things they use a finger that has been cut off of a glove and this makes it easier to move the images. We work on the month, date, day and season. We also work on addition and subtraction using the current date. The children also learn a lot about place value during our number work. The children are getting really good at finding random numbers on the 100 chart by finding the number in the ones column and moving down to find the correct numeral in the tens column. We sing many songs to go along with the calendar too. I use a calendar from a great site I have found called http://www.jmeacham.com/
