Calendar time can be meaningful if you do it in the beginning and end of the day. (A 4/5 year old program.) They learn rote counting and left to right progression (that's the purpose for me). Yes, rote counting is important too, although definitely not the most important. I do not focus on the year or the day of the week. Just the name of the month (related to the month's holiday or season).At the end of the day add a rudimentary drawing of an event or something that was done during the day. Have a brief recall discussion. Each day recall the day before (for that week). The children will then have a sense of time being events that happened.

Yes and you can do this in just a few minutes. 5 at most.

Oh my gosh! I am soooo happy I found your channel! I start formal homeschool of my four yo daughter tomorrow and this information is going to be so helpful. Thanks a million. I'll be doing days of the week for that day but had not planned on doing the yesterday, today and tomorrow because I knew my daughter does not comprehend that information. She does understand TODAY so we will work with that lol.

This is why I do a linear calendar. 1-31 left to right. We don't do days.

I can’t see your details on your cross off calendar - is there numbers on the squares?

[@teachingtiffney2756]

What if anything do you recommend if my students all don’t have the same daily schedule? My kids have different schedules each based on their needs.

[@MariaPereira-kq4cd]

Nice ideas, thank you a lot.

[@stephaniezamudio1069]

Your linear progression. You don’t use numbers. What do you use? Just a drawn line?
