This year I started incorporating a more involved calendar math time. We always discussed our calendar math but now I have the students write about it as well. Last February I attended a seminar given by guided math guru Dr. Nicki Newton and she said that it was critical to have this be a part of every student's day.
After using it for about a week or so they have picked up the routines and get started as soon as they hit the carpet. It is a great way to reinforce written skills as they practice writing the days of the week and the month and but it also increases their math awareness and ability to manipulate numbers in a variety of ways.
