Transitional Goal - Daily Living: Demonstrate effective skills to participate in all aspects of age-appropriate daily living and self-help activities. Classroom Activities/Lesson Plan Personal Binder: Monthly Calendars The monthly calendar is also part of the student’s binder. This calendar is used for recording classroom events and special dates. As students get older, a monthly calendar should become a personal record-keeping tool. At the Elementary age, it is also a tool that can help keep parents informed of classroom activities, thus allowing the student and parent to engage in a conversation on upcoming events. The monthly calendar can be customized by writing special events on the dates or by using the icon stickers to mark an event. To make the icons into a sticker page, print on full sheet of label paper. During Circle Time, this monthly calendar can be reviewed each week to look at special events that are happening. These may also be placed on a large monthly calendar, if desired. Talk about what’s happening this week and look for the week on the calendar. Talk about “how many days until…” to develop the “future” concept. The overall goal is to get the students more familiar with present and future as displayed on a monthly calendar. Students may also cross out or make a mark on the current day to again work within the monthly format of the calendar.
