MMI: Calendar Math, Chore Chart and Monthly Calendar

When I was in college a few years ago (okay not really, but it seems like only a few years ago) I did some student teaching in a classroom that used a Calendar Math system and it rocked! I know everywhere across the blogging world people use Calendar Math and I did too when I taught elementary. Now that I am going back to my beloved 4th grade I will be using Calendar Math again. I am super lucky because the room I have has a smaller white board on one side wall that I am going to dedicate to my Calendar Math spiral review!

This week I made my signs for the board! I LOVE how they turned out!

The next couple things for this week aren't school related, but I made them nonetheless :)

I have an awesome four year old and we made a chore chart for her. It is the best ever! Things get accomplished more quickly now and with less complaining.

I made all the little chore circles, cut them out and stuck them to the back of an adhesive magnetic sheet. Then I put laminate over the top.

Cut each one out!

I used my new favorite Sharpie Paint markers to write on the sheet of metal. The pink color actually pops out but you can't see it in the pic :(

And here is the finished result. The Sharpie Paint is the best! My daughter can just slide the chores right on over!

Next...

Each month I make a 12x12 calendar to put on our fridge. This is our family calendar where everything gets written down for the month.

Here is July without anything written in it yet. Once a month is over I slip it into our scrapbook. I've been doing this for a while now and it is fun to go back and see what we were doing day-by-day. Sometimes I write down funny things that happened or the temperature if it got really hot/cold that day. Random interesting stuff.

Head on over and link up with Tara! Happy Monday!
