The holidays are over and we are all returning to our regular routines in the classroom.  As I spent some of the work days in my room organizing, it was a new month and time to redo the calendar of course.  For years as a primary teacher, I had different numbers and themes to match each month.  However, I have now simplified my calendar to a simple "old school" look but I celebrate different birthdays and events for the kids to learn from.  It's my sneaky way of tucking yet one more book in! Ha!

Just look at the January images above!  Talk about some historic icons to read about.  As part of our morning routine, the students each receieve a mini sticker to place in their planner and we follow up with a book or short video clip of the person. It doen't take much effort, but I see my kids make new connections everyday.  I believe it is important for the kids to be taking this information home to their parents and  make further connection for learning.  I have had parents admit to me that they don't know about some of the people that we learn about!  

Please see below for some of my favorite books/videos for the people above.  Trust me, this is a simple and engaging way to pour more information into our kids in a fun way!

If you would like to see my full calendar kit that I have designed including images above and the entire year, you can find in in my Teachers Pay Teachers store.
