Calendar

As we were doing calendar today I was thinking that next year I will introduce it slightly differently. In September I will start with doing calendar on the smartboard (the kids will not use their laptops right away...) once we have walked through the tools, some of the ins and outs, then we will introduce them to the calendar.

if a student deletes a piece of the calendar I will have them redownload it from the s drive.

Also it is important to remember for me to have the kids download it from the s drive...not the website. by doing this I can add or delete pages I want and can reorder them to make sense with our routine.

it does not bother me if students use different colored pens/markers, or change the background of their screen IF they have completed what we are doing.

It should be quiet in the room unless someone is called on.

there is lots of room for discussion by doing it on the computers as well as the calendar.

I would like to do one calendar helper a day to do it up on the smartboard as the rest of the class does it on the laptops...

also at the end of the month each month I would like for kids to turn it into me so that I can see who is understanding the concepts better/who is struggling with certain concepts.
