The New Year is almost here, and beyond the party, the concept of days, months, and seasons isn’t very straightforward for our new learners. They need repetition, hands-on practice, and something that feels fun… Calendars are really helpful for teaching kids about days, time, and most importantly, about habits!
I have always used calendar pages with my kids to build habit chains and consistency. It’s sticky, but most importantly, it helps our kids learn the value of building focus and persistence in setting and achieving new goals in this fast-paced world.
