Track Which Days You Want to Celebrate

I suggest marking which days you would like to celebrate so you do not forget. You can add them to your phone calendar for easy access and set up an alert so you never forget. We choose one day to celebrate each day and write it on a printed calendar before the month starts. We review today’s National Day each morning during our Circle Time or morning work. This is a great way to incorporate the calendar into your learning activities. You can print calendars for free at PrintFree.

Happy September!
