Materials
chart calendarnumerals on two different shapes for the months
Instructions
1. Each morning during circle time, look at the calendar.
2. When talking about the day of the week and the date, ask the children to name the next day's date.
3. Create a pattern and ask the children to continue with the pattern each day of the week. For example: In January, use blue mittens and white snowflakes and create the pattern of three snowflakes followed by one mitten. This means that January 1st, 2nd, and 3rd would have snowflakes, the 4th would have a mitten, then snowflakes again on the 5th, 6th, and 7th, and so on.
