Calendar books

Many of you may have noticed that our calendar in class is different than others you have seen.  It is all done by the students.  We use this type of calendar to talk about our day and a way to see what the students have discovered and learned that day.

But what to do once a month finishes and we have all of these pictures and writing for each day?  Well, we made books!  Ms. R has been wonderful at helping us create these books from September to December, and will now be continued every month.  We keep them on our book shelf and catch many students looking at them daily. Take a look below.

The December title page shows when we went into the gym every morning to sing holiday carols with the school.  This and the other title page ideas were all thought of by the students drawing them.
 This is an example of a page inside our books.  It shows our writing of what we discovered, did or learned that day and a picture.  We do this every day on our class calendar.

Apologies for the pictures being side ways. :)
