Use this linear calendar in your early childhood classroom to better help your little ones understand the concept of time! Linear calendars are recommended for young learners. Linear calendars introduce number lines, teach "before" and "after," and allow learners to visualize time.
This linear calendar also includes weather cards to attach to the calendar, a weather graph, and a clip thermometer.
After printing and putting together this calendar, it will be roughly 8.3 inches tall and 65 inches long (almost 5.5 feet long).

35 special events/holiday cards, "home day" and "school day" cards (though I personally only put home days on my calendar)
8 different weather card choices...
sunny

I love the switch that I made this year to a linear calendar. My kindergarteners love to see how many days until their favorite holidays and celebrations. They even "play" calendar during choice and guided play time. I hung mine with hot glue and added velcro dots so that students can easily swap things out each month. This is easy to use and engaging!
My class of 3's loved counting to see what day we were on each day. Not only does this linear calendar reinforce counting and number recognition, but it also allows the children to count up to special days and experiences coming up. I look forward to implementing it with next year's class. Definitely a keeper!
I can't wait to use this. In a training I was in, the trainer discussed linear calendars. I wanted to wait until a new month started, but I am so excited to begin using this in November!
Absolutely changed calendar time for me! My learners understand the calendar SO much better in this format, and were way more engaged.
A linear calendar was the best decision I made for my pre-K class! It’s more engaging and easier to understand. I love this!
