Monthly Calendars

Every month my students make a calendar to take home. I try to tie in a holiday or current theme for the calendar art work.  While learning about winter weather, we read Snip, Snip.....Snow! by Nancy Poydar.  In the story, the main character makes paper snowflakes with her class while waiting for real snow to arrive. We followed the directions at the end of the book to make our own paper snowflakes!  At the beginning of the school year, I found  free traceable calendars on Teachers Pay Teachers.  I love the designer of these monthly calendars, because she included calendars for students to trace or fill in themselves.  Differentiation!  These calendars can be found here:

A finished calendar with traceable dates.

Some students choose to fill in the dates themselves.

Working hard and having fun!
