Filling Out the Calendar

1. Daily Routines

Morning Routine: Mark activities such as "Circle Time" or "Show and Tell" to help children understand their daily schedule.
Special Activities: Include recurring events like "Story Time" or "Art Class" to reinforce routines.

2. Weekly and Monthly Themes

Themes: Each month or week can have a theme (e.g., "Animal Kingdom," "Space Adventure") with related activities and learning objectives.
Learning Focus: Highlight specific educational content such as letters, numbers, or colors of the week.

3. Holidays and Special Events

Classroom Celebrations: Mark birthdays, holiday parties, and special classroom events. Use stickers or drawings to denote these special days.
Public Holidays: Include major holidays and school vacations to help children understand when they occur.

4. Weather and Seasons

Weather Chart: Create a section where children can track daily weather using symbols or stickers (e.g., sunny, rainy, cloudy).
Seasonal Changes: Update the calendar to reflect the changing seasons with appropriate images and activities.

5. Engage Children in the Process

Daily Updates: Involve children in updating the calendar each day. For example, they can move a marker to the current date or change the weather icon.
Special Days: Celebrate milestones or special achievements by marking them on the calendar. This could include “Star of the Week” or “Best Reader” days.
