Calendar

You don't need anything fancy to start working with preschoolers and the calendar.  I bought a Dora calendar from the dollar store.  Each day we record the whether on the calendar with simple symbols. A sun for sunny, a cloud for cloudy, snowflake for snow, raindrops for rain, many clouds for foggy.  We also list birthdays and special events on the calendar.

Skills we focus on:

• Learning the days of the week
• Learning the months
• Recognizing numbers
• Counting (sunny days, cloudy days, days until an event, etc)
• Listening to directions
• Recognizing different weather

Days of the Week Song 

(tune: Clementine)

There are seven days, there are seven days,

There are seven days in a week

Sunday, Monday

Tuesday, Wednesday,

Thursday, Friday

Saturday

Today is (fill in day), Today is (fill in day)

Today is (fill in day) all day long

Today is (fill in day), Today is (fill in day)

Today is (fill in day) all day long

Repeat chorus
