Ready for Homeschool - Calendar and Morning Routine

I love the calendar and morning board idea I saw at Homeschool Creations and at 1+1+1=1. My kiddos are in preschool and Grade 1 so it's the perfect age to do this. I found the star calendar kit by Trend and that took care of the calender, weather and days of the week - all I had to do there was laminate - did I mention I have a laminator? Love it!!! It's Scotch brand, and it rocks!! I added velcro dots to the backs of a million little pieces once they were laminated.

Above the yellow foam board (which I would recommend using because it's so sturdy) I have 3 page protectors so that I can easily change up what's there. Right now there's some beginner spanish.

On the foam board is the Days In School sheet that I downloaded from 1+1+1=1 Homeschool Creations, and beside that is the 100 Days of School chart from 1+1+1=1.

The top right corner has our Awana verses for Sparks and Cubbies. I've cut 4x6 photo protectors out of a dollar album for these.

Below that is the Color of the Day from 1+1+1=1, and the Unit 1 Bookmark (really? round? how odd) from Kelly's Bible 1.

The What Time Is It? is from Homeschool Creations, but instead of buying a clock I found a plain graphic on the internet and coloured it and the hands and fastened them on with a brass fastener so they can move.

The other 5 little creatures are purely for decoration and are notebook labels from Martha Stewart. I put them  on velcro dots so that I can change things up for Christmas or whatever. I liked them but I get tired of things like that. Maybe this will keep me from the insane idea I should redo the board in a different colour bi-monthly. Yikes. I'd just better not mention that one to myself!!

We are going to give it the inaurgural go-atter tomorrow am. We haven't started school yet - I needed this last week to prepare and recover from a crazy summer.

I think I'm back now. I hope so. Actually, I'll be right back with one more small project. See you then! ;o)
