Make Your Own Calendar 2009 publisher: Children's released: 2008-08-01 ISBN: 0316830461 $8.99

Make Your Own Calendar is back for 2009! Each month features a space for kids to create their own pictures, as well as clever border designs to color in. There are also over 200 colorful stickers included to mark special dates. Whimsical artwork from Steve Haskamp gives this calendar a fresh look, and invites kids to personalize it and make it their own.

For teachers, parents and day-care staff, there is a way to keep those children occupied! Make Your Own Calendar 2009 is an engaging and interesting craft book that will hold their interest. Filled with colorable pictures and empty areas that can be used to draw, this calendar will encourage their creativity. As an added bonus, about 200 stickers are packaged with the book.

The calendar can also be used for educational purposes. Teaching children the date/calendar system can be a daunting task. But with this handy tool, it will be much easier to explain and show them since they will have a keen interest in something they have worked on. Each page comes with month-appropriate pictures surrounding it, which in itself can be used as an educational tool to explain the major holidays and significance of each month. Children will also be exposed to the diversity present in different cultures as important festivals and holidays of many different cultures are noted.

Not only is Make Your Own Calendar 2009 something that can be used to keep your children busy, but it can also be used to expand their knowledge. And the most important thing is that it can be a very fun activity! I am definitely looking forward to 2009 so that I can use my self-made calendar!

Armchair Interviews says: This would be a perfect gift.

Our kids (ages 5 and 8) are in love with this item. This is our 3rd or 4th year of buying the calendars. I pre-order them, and the kids anticipate the calendars' August arrival date the way they would anticipate Christmas or their birthdays. They spend a lot of time discussing what they will draw for each month, and they enjoy the coloring parts and putting on the special occasion stickers. It is a long-term project. They will spend weeks or even months on their calendars. This is a perfect gift for kids with a long attention span who like art projects. If you give this gift in December, though, it probably won't be finished by January 1, so give it earlier in the fall.

The Teacher's Calendar School Year 2008-2009: The Day-by-Day Almanac of Historic Events, Holidays, Famous Birthdays and More! (Teacher's Calendar) by: Editors of Chase's publisher: McGraw-Hill released: 2008-05-15 ISBN: 0071547738 $13.57

�The Teacher's Calendar is a treasure house of information. It answers so many of the never-ending first-grade questions I get every day!�-Jane Ann Robertson, 2004 Arizona Teacher of the Year

For nine years, K-8 teachers, librarians, and other educators have turned to The Teacher's Calendar to capture the attention of their students. The Teacher's Calendar offers innovative classroom ideas for every day of the year, from August 1 to July 31. Each page is packed with suggestions for class activities, bulletin boards, and school calendars. Fifty sidebars highlight specific dates and provide curriculum ideas, lists of appropriate books, and related websites.

I love these calendars..I buy one every year now. I type up calendars for each month of what we are doing, and for empty days, or weekends, I add the facts and informatio from this book. Last year, when they discovered it was Blue Ribbon week for Child Abuse awareness, my kids planned, implemented, and succeed in fundraising for the local shelter. I teach English I Honors, and while many of them are proactive anyway, giving them a direction in which to travel helps a lot. Websites and other important information is listed with each entry, and a lot of my kids have learned more about the world outside of their small town just through this exposure.
