**Wolfelicious**: Calendar Thinker

Do you do calendar every single day?

Do you love calendar?

Usually, I don't care for it. It is SO repetitive that I even get a little bored. I know if I am bored with it, then so are my kiddos.

UNITL...

I started incorporating things for the students to do while we were working on calendar together!

I came up with my Calendar Thinker!

WIN! WIN!

Not only are we working on the calendar skills every day, but we are also working on tons of the standards daily.

Plus, when I see the students are having trouble with a certain concept, we review it during calendar.

Practice makes perfect, right? The more the students practice the skills the better. The more likely they will go into their long term memory.

I absolutely love this packet! My students use it daily. When my students come through the door in the morning, they first do their morning work. Once that is finished, they head to the 'cozy corner' (my carpet area) and start working on their calendar folder. Once the announcements are over, everyone has to go to the calendar and we begin the calendar. I go through the big calendar bulletin board on the wall and the kiddos do the corresponding pages in their folder.

It has SO many skills in it!

I walk around while students are filling out the pages, making sure they understand the different concepts being covered. It gives me a quick understanding of who comprehends the concept and who needs more work.
