We start our kindergarten morning with "calendar time."  We meet by the smartboard, with our calendar books, to talk about the date, weather, and how many days we've been in school (today was number 132!).  

Jace was the calendar "helper" today, so he led the group in counting to 4 (yesterday's date), then writing today's number.  

Next, we sing a "days of the week" song.  This month we are learning the Spanish word for each day.

Then, we show the date using coins (today we traded 5 pennies for 1 nickel, to equal 5)...

and tally marks.

We also think of number equations to match the date.

Finally, we graph the weather

and open a box on our number chart to show how many days smarter we are! 

Calendar time is so much fun!!
