These tools can be used to set up a bulletin board or for other ways you might find them useful in the classroom. You might set your board up to look something like this.
There are 12 Month Cards in various colors similar to January above. Each one has a cute picture depicting an activity during the month. There are Days of the Week Cards for creating your calendar. The numbers are circles. There are 8 different colors and they are sequenced so you could use these to show patterns.
Next there are cards for days of the week, months, numbers and year. You can create a date up to 2025.
Number cards with base ten charts are available to ten for posting. The money poster names coins and their value.
The number of days (tens chart) and today’s number can be used in different ways depending on the level of you class. You can use the number of days for these or the number of the month. Your choice. There are numbers and tallies to 100.
For the weather chart there are six different characters for deciding what most of the day has been like. You can choose a meteorologists for the day.
Finally there are Calendar Worksheets that accompany what skill you want to reinforce for the day. It is not necessary to do one every day.
I do use the calendar daily. Add the month…fill in the day… any special events?… maybe even draw a picture on each side of the month.
Each worksheet works on a different skill. I like to put a book together for each student.
