Our Calendar of Firsts is one of the easiest yet most interesting keeping we do in our home -- super simple to implement and gives us lots of great information about our local landscape as we begin to track these things.

Often the first thing my kids say when coming in from outside is "We have something to add to the Calendar of Firsts!" It really does become part of the family culture. :)Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-41342784090458066632016-10-27T16:49:00.802-07:002016-10-27T16:49:00.802-07:00Hi Celeste, I wanted to mention how much I enjoy v...Hi Celeste, I wanted to mention how much I enjoy visiting your blog! Very inspiring and uplifting. I have only one student so far in Y1 and this calendar of firsts was a big hit when I mentioned it to my son that we have a place to add "firsts" :) And I'm also so glad I saw answers to my questions on the comments. Thanks for sharing the beautiful work your are doing with your children!

Our "Calendar of Firsts" is a dated record of the seasonal observations we make each year (first wild mustard in spring, first buds on the plum tree, etc.). Our "Life Lists" are lists of animals, flowers, trees, etc. that we have seen. I usually note our first time seeing them if they are species new to us.

I imagine that as my kids get older, they will start to keep those last two on their own. I think it would be perfectly in accordance with The Living Page for children to keep their own calendars, but it depends on the child. If a child is eager to keep his own, great! If it's going to be overly parent-directed, I don't think it would be as valuable a project. I like to keep the required Keeping to a minimum to keep their interest high. ;)Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-83505972343731216292014-10-10T18:39:56.948-07:002014-10-10T18:39:56.948-07:00Hi Celeste!

I have been toying with the idea of a binder notebook for each child that is ongoing for Form 1 and most of 2 with a timeline section, "firsts" section, copywork section, math facts being added as they are learned, "words" for my really little ones... haven't read the Living Page yet, so I'm not sure how in line with CM that would be, exactly.
