I've been offered a first grade position. I have taught 3rd for 15 years in private school. Then, for the past two years I've taught virtual charter school.

How do you do calendar time in first grade? Do you have a physical calendar, NOTD, etc., or do you do it all on virtual slides? Pros/cons for both ways, please.

Hey, welcome to first grade! You'll love it! I moved from 3rd to 1st 25 years ago and still love it.

I do most things on slides BUT I still do calendar with a pocket chart and tools. I do date, number date (eg. 6/23/22), # of days in school (with base ten blocks) and some type of math problem (usually a word problem with attendance (eg. 18 students - 3 absent = 15 present). We also talk about the schedule of the day, etc.

This board is kind of slow, so if you don't get a timely response, try posting your questions on the Busyboard.
