About this resource
Description
This Calendar Micro Lesson teaches one math skill from start to finish: reading a calendar. Abby explains it out loud, word by word, so every child can follow along.
Three short parts
- Learn – On School Day, Abby shows the parts of a calendar page (the month, the seven days of the week, the dates and the last date), how to find yesterday, today and tomorrow (back one box, forward one box), and the twelve months of the year in order.
- Practice – Kids try it with help. A wrong pick gets a hint, then a clear reason why, so mistakes turn into learning.
- Quiz – Five questions on their own, then a score, stars and a look back at every answer with Abby explaining why.
Made for the classroom and home
- Assign it in HFT Classroom: students open it from their class page and the quiz score goes straight to you.
- Everything is read aloud, with big tap targets and real calendar pages to read.
- Works on phones, tablets, Chromebooks, computers and interactive whiteboards.
Want more practice? Pair it with the printable Blank Calendar and the Calendar Game. Micro Lessons are included with every Have Fun Teaching membership.
