Many schools use these fabric calendars to encourage children to learn the days of the week and the months – in both English and French [and I guess in other languages too]
The problem is, they only give you FIVE YEARS in the set – what do you do when you are coming to the end of the last year? Especially when the academic year starts in September, and you realise that in 4 months time you don’t have a “2015” ready and waiting?
If you are reading this blog and you have one of these calendars in your classroom, and need “2015” do email me, and I’ll send you one!
Brilliant idea, & so well executed. I'm sure the makers expect people to shell out for another calendar. great work! Vee x
ReplyDeleteLooks great, well done! Not many people would think to do it.
ReplyDeleteSo clever!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't have one but I'd love to embroider something with one! X
I bought one of those calendars very cheaply during my teacher training for the very reason that the years with it had passed. I had intended to do as you have done and make some new years for it. I donated it to a charity shop when I had to give up the teaching dream. I hope someone bought it, made some new years for it and it's still going strong in a classroom somewhere!
