The children had a very interesting discussion on birthdays!
The children were looking at the calender in the class room when one of them said, "My birthday is on the calender." Ella responded by saying, "My birthday is last week!"
This started a discussion on who was three years old and who was two years old.
Alex told Ms.Kia she was two but wanted to know when she was turning three.
We thought this would be a great opportunity to set up a calender in the classroom to help the children continue this project. Everyday we have been using the calendar to follow the day of the week, month and name of the month.
Everyday we look at the number of the day...
count each day...
read the month and day of the week...
look at the numbers in our year...
and look to see who's birthday will be next!
Since we are trying to read everyday of the week along with the month, we thought it would be a great idea to practice writing all the days and add it to our calender!
We are also writing our names too, to help with this project!
We are excited about this project and would like to invite our parents to be involved in any possible way. We encourage you to share your ideas and materials that you think might help the children learn these concepts!
