"What day is it today?" is our first routine and we keep on doing it since September.
This is today's date in our classroom board!
First of all, the classroom helper moves the pink arrows and choose the correct day and month from the posters.
Days of the week
Months of the year
Once we know it, the helper has to choose and stick the correct labels. Notice that the labels for days are blue and the ones for months are purple. This way is easier to pick the correct one.
Once the date is on the board, we say it all together. As it is a routine we repeat everyday we try to make it different changing our voices, whispering, using funny chants, singing the date... Empower your own imagination!
We also have seasons flashcards!
At the beginning of the school year we watched the videos below. You can watch them again and find more on the net, there are millions and students enjoy learning by singing.
