Our NEW Calendar Board

The kids and I have enjoyed using our calendar time. We are still using our calendar notebooks (I love that the notebooks provides individual calendar work for each of my kids), but I have changed our calendar board.  Honestly, I got tired of having to set out the “pouches” with all of the “pieces” from our old calendar board. So, I decided to do something about it!

I LOVE our new calendar board set up!!! It is SO much better than what we had before! So, here is what the new board looks like:

The main change with our NEW calendar board is that it is now made up of a bunch of “flip charts” on metal rings. So, I don’t have to keep up with anything because everything we need is right there on the board! No more missing pieces…no more having to remember to set the pouches out each night…etc.

Each day the kids still do their calendar notebooks and they take turns updating the calendar board. As opposed to me going over the calendar board, the person who updates the board also get to “teach” (i.e. go over the updates on the board.) As they go over the calendar board, the others follow along in their calendar notebooks. While I sit in on the kid’s teaching, I glance over their calendar notebooks.

Visit my Calendar Time webpage for details on how I made our new Calendar Board as well as explanations of how we use each of the parts. From the webpage you will also be able to download the printables that I made for the board. I have provided links to all of the printables that I used from external sites as well!
