Common Core and Calendar Time

by teachergrade1

Jun 12, 2013

I'm returning to first grade after teaching in the middle school for 2 years, and have been told that calendar is not part of the schedule in the school I will be teaching in this year.

Is this a normal trend in primary classrooms? There is so much value in calendar activities, that I find it hard to imagine it going by the wayside...even with the Common Core being implemented.

Susan Isn't there any time in your schedule for bellwork? In my class, we take the first 10- 15 minutes of the day. I agree you can incorporate so many things in calendar time. We do weather incorporating predictions, water cycle and counting using grouping by tens and money grouping pennies to nickels, dimes, etc

Sharon Laramie I have taught 1st grade for 20+ years. I include calendar time with my math. The concepts I include are days of the week, months of the year, tally marks (during the month), weather graphing, the temperature of the day (coloring in a thermometer), counting to 180... probablility (we roll a dice and complete a graph)... so many things...

John I agree that calendar time is very important! Especially for your special education kids. They need that daily review.

Debbie May I cannot imagine not doing calendar time, it is a very important part of our math day, I include: place value, expanded notation, counting up each day, skip counting, odd and even numbers, tally marks, graphing, we also find as many ways to make the number of the day in two minutes, we do time and so much more!
