I'm curious - what's been your favorite national day activity lately?  Last week, my nephew and I engaged in (what he calls) mini-school.  I seized that opportunity to try out some of these ideas for every day I've been blogging about.  The activities we chose were to honor April Fools' Day and National Crayon Day.  For April Fools' Day, he enjoyed learning (from History.com ) that the first day of the year used to be in spring and to him (and me too, actually) this concept makes more sense.

Your April calendar delivered . When we make our Idea for Every Day Calendars, we do it with you and your learner(s) in mind.  We select a holiday for every day and sieve through treasure troves on the internet in search of complementary link pairings.  Sometimes the links are academic in nature, sometimes they work on social-emotional development, and other times they are purely for your entertainment.  But always, we select them with care.  We only choose activities that we would want to engage in with the littles in our lives and hope that you will find them useful for the littles in yours. This month, we'll reveal one week at a time so we can provide detail about each daily activity.  If you're the type that would rather fill out your schedule as far into the future as possible, then download your April calendar now , and get to planning.
