For most of the summer I have contemplated just how to fit my calendar routine in with morning meeting while still maintaining the new focus as outlined in the CCSS. Well, I think I have it! This routine will take no more than a few minutes, and the “eureka” moment for me was when I thought like my students for a bit, then realized they would handle a chunk (a week at a time) better than the entire enchilada (full calendar view)! I plan to make this one big file with months of August-June, but for now, I just had to make this freebie available for my friends 🙂 Download it, give it a test drive, then let me know how you think it will fit your needs. I am doing Writer’s Workshop right after Morning Meeting this year, and this new routine will allow us to get to our very important writing work right away! This August journal will remain a FREEBIE!
This looks really great. I've been hesitant to try this, but this may just push me over the edge! LOL smskg@hotmail.com
Thank you! I just feel like we are overwhelming our kinders with too much at once. If the "picture" is their size–on their level–it seems they will commit it to memory.
