Calendar Time
I thought it would be fun each day to incorporate calendar time into Grace's morning routine. Grace gets to sit on a very special bear rug during calendar time, which takes place on the back of our porch door. Each morning we review what month it is and spell out the letters and their sounds. Grace then finds the number of the date from a choice of three numbers and places it on the calendar. Next, we sing a song about the days of the week ~ Grace knows them all! After the calendar work, Grace looks out the window to identify the weather and chooses a weather card to place at the bottom of the door. Finally, Grace chooses a character that is dressed appropriately for the type of weather we are having. Today it is warm and sunny so Grace chose a boy who was wearing sunglasses, shorts, and a t-shirt. Calendar time is such a fun way for Grace to learn so many concepts. We are having a great time with this each morning!

Dear Rebecca,
I can only imagine how much Grace is loving calendar time. She is so detailed orientated that the numbers and days must be very exciting for her. What a great idea to begin the calendar activities.....I just love that weather part, too. Yet, another fantastic part of Gracie Girl's day. Just wait until she begins to see the patterns that happen on the calendar! Thought-provoking times ahead for sure.
Love, Mom
Grace, you must love to add the numbers and put up the pictures.
As you add more and more, you see the space filling and the calendar looks different than it did the day before. Here's a two clues for today's picture: you need to wear something to keep your clothes dry; you may also want to carry something so the rain doesn't pour down on your head.
Love you every day and in every kind of weather,
Memere and Pepere
