John and I were on a homeschooling journey for 22 years with our two children. Our oldest is now in the professional workplace after undergrad and law school. Our youngest is a sophomore in undergrad. We absolutely loved the journey. There were challenges and joys, just like with all things in life. It wasn't easy, but it was the path we felt called to take. Now that my children are gone, I still think about my favorite times and subjects. I LOVED when they were little and we would read together and share those precious giggles and laughs with fun books. There are so many moments I hold dear. I do miss creating and sharing documents and ideas. Not all are easy to do in this medium, but as I think of things I think will translate well, I will add to this page. Enjoy!
This is one of the techniques we used to learn the months of the year, their order and their abbreviations.
I also LOVED having the boys keep their own calendar with their special events, outings, co-op classes, field trips, birthdays and holidays, etc.
If you have a printer, please enjoy these with your kiddos.

These calendars are for those who cannot yet read a fancy font or cursive. If your student is in the Calendar learning mode, I have created these so they can add stickers, mark off days, record events or activities, just however you see them being used. It is just so fun for them to have their very own calendar.
This is a calendar for you, to print and use. The month is in a font that is difficult for littles to read, but I love it for me. I love to print these and put them on a clip board and use for my personal calendar. If you like to color and create your own without all the commercial add ons, please feel free to download and print these for yourself. I have created everything in black and white because color ink is expensive and you can always color them yourself to add interest.
