July 2011

I want to start cal­en­dar time with the kids which I think would tie in all the activ­i­ties we will be doing for the rest of the year.

I bought a piece of poster board from Clicks because I couldn’t find foam board there.

Behind every item that needs to be changed (ex. shapes, col­ors, date) I cre­ated a pocket behind it so that it could store the other pieces.
I printed off each of these pieces from:

What’s The Weather Like Today? from Con­fes­sions of A Home­schooler
Today, Tom­morow, Yes­ter­day from Con­fes­sions of A Home­schooler
What Sea­son is it? from Con­fes­sions of A Home­schooler
The Date and Day of the week were down­loaded from Mama Jenn
Color of the Week from Mama Jenn
The Weather Bear is from Lit­tle Sprouts (I haven’t put the pieces or the vel­cro on yet)
The Ice cream cone with red ice cream is from Itty Bitty Book­worm cur­ricu­lum. The col­ors are inter­change­able so you can change the pieces when you have another color of the week.
Itty Bitty Book­worm has some great cal­en­dar print­a­bles and if I had seen them before I prob­a­bly would have done the days of the week  from there because it looks so cute!

Let­ter of the Week is from Me. I used the alpha­bets though from Erica’s Chicka Chicka Boom Boom small alpha­bets at Con­fes­sions of a Home­schooler. I want to trans­fer the let­ters to our Chicka Chicka Boom Boom tree after we com­plete our let­ter for that week. Dur­ing the week I want it up on our cal­en­dar board. I cre­ated a Let­ter of the Week area for our cal­en­der to re-inforce let­ter recog­ni­tion.
Shape Of the Day is from Me. I left two spots open at the bot­tom of the page so that you or your child can draw in the shapes if you would like instead.
