As the end of the year approaches retail stores remind everyone of the need to purchase a new calendar for the coming year. The variety of calendars available is truly amazing. There are calendars for people who love cats, dogs and horses. Calendars for those who love to garden. Calendars for those who like art. Big calendars, small calendars and pocket calendars. The list is endless.

Teaching special education students how to use the calendar, however, can be quite a challenge. Following are some suggestions on how to start.

My Favorite Calendar

If possible have each student bring his own monthly calendar. Send parents a note explaining that you will be teaching the calendar. To help encourage learning, each student should help choose his favorite and bring it to school. Students can enjoy sharing in class why they chose a particular calendar. This calendar can later be taken back home and used to keep track of days when not in school.
