Build a Digital Calendar Time with Holidays, Time, Counting, Weather Activities

Build and create your own digital calendar and calendar time activities to share with your students and develop a daily calendar routine during your morning meeting digitally or in the classroom on your interactive board! This calendar includes all major US holidays (and *newly added* Canadian holidays) as well as squares to add your own events/holidays! There are also 13 included daily calendar routines included to count days of school with ten frames, hundreds chart, or base ten blocks, practice the days of the week, months of the year, observe and graph the weather, count daily money, time, dress up for the weather, and a daily SEL feelings check-in slide! You can adapt and differentiate the calendar for your students by removing any activities or holidays that may not work for them.

Formats included: Google Slides and PowerPoint.

You can either build the calendar as the teacher to share live with a class online or in person on the SMART board for calendar time, and/or assign your students to build their own calendars individually. Drag and drop holidays or special events for each month in the calendar as well!
