Ideas for your January calendar
January is goal-setting month: let kids write one New Year goal in the notes box and color a square for every day they work on it. It is also a good time to plan winter-break catch-up reading.
- Family command center: print one for the fridge and write in practices, birthdays and appointments with a different color for each person.
- Classroom calendar: enlarge it for the board and let the “calendar helper” add the weather each morning. See the classroom calendar headers.
- Habit tracker: kids color a box each day they read, practice an instrument or make their bed.
- Countdown: circle a big day and cross off each day until it arrives.
