Pictured above: Our monthly calendar pocket chart,We Choose Virtues poster, Calendar and Morning Board, US Wall Cling map, and our All About Spelling board.
The new schoolroom just needed a revised Calendar and Morning Board {ahem}. The foam board managed to get a little bent in the move, so I pulled everything off, moved things around, added a few things and now we’re good to go! We also have been using a new character program for the kids called We Choose Virtues and I really wanted to include the cute teacher’s cards and the poster in our morning routine.
Want a close-up look?
We did make a few changes to our calendar board. I wanted to move away from as much of the dry erase marker as I could {mainly since a few kiddos have a tendency to draw on many things other than the board}. We added a few things, made a few things smaller, and added some velcro to pieces.
Each morning we all sit down together and one of the kids leads us in our morning routine ~ praying for our Compassion child and one of the missionaries we support, changing any information that needs to be updated {date, days in school , temperature, etc…}, and then reviewing other information on the board {skip counting/multiplication and our We Choose Virtues card}.
For full details on how I put our new Calendar and Morning Board together and to download the free calendar printables to go along with it, visit my Calendar Time webpage. I have a list of links there as well to all of the printables that I’ve used from other sites as well, along with links to some other great ladies’ calendar boards. Note: some of the printable files that I’ve shared in the past have been updated, so be sure to check them out!

Jolanthe,
Thank you for sharing your morning board. With the way you’ve rearranged everything, I can still see a great use for it as my children get older.
I love the green paint color on the wall.
I was SO scared of that color when it initially went up, but LOVE it now!! :) Getting the furniture in the room made all the difference.
Love the morning board! It looks fantastic!
Love your new calendar board, but wow! I LOVE that GREEN!
We just moved, too, and our calendar boards, I fear, will have, ahem, met the same fate. ;) So it looks like I have to make new ones. Good thing, too ’cause you & Carisa keep coming up with all this neat stuff to add to them! ;) I think I’m going to need a flip chart this time! LOL Thanks for sharing all your great ideas with us!
I love your US Wall Map! Where did you get it? I’ve been looking for a map with Alaska in the right spot, not cut out and put on the bottom left corner. It’s hard to find one! Also love the green wall! Thank you for sharing!
I picked them up at Target awhile back ~ they were vinyl wall clings. I couldn’t find them recently and am checking online to see if I could find them somewhere!!
Found the Wall Clings on Amazon again!! http://amzn.to/qdz4ue
It says currently unavailable. But am ordering now from Target.com Thank you!!
I love your calendar board! Where did you find the United States wall decal?
The room is looking fantasic!! Love the changes to the board.
What an awesome blog! This is right up my alley. I just found you while searching for homeschooling ideas for my preschoolers. If you are interested, I have a resource that might be of help to you, too.
I am the webmaster for http://www.childrens-church-ministry.com,
and I wanted to make an offer to you that I thought your blog readers may
appreciate. We have an eBook called “Soaring Through the Toddler and Preschool
Years” that is available for purchase from our website, and I was wondering if
you would be interested in giving away a few copies to your readers. The book
sells for $5.95 and is available as a downloadable PDF. You can see more about
the book here: http://www.childrens-church-ministry.com/soaring-through-the-toddler-and-preschool-years.html.
If you think this downloadable eBook would be of interest to your readers, I
would be willing to give away 3 copies to your readers and a copy to you as
well. In exchange for this giveaway, we
would appreciate a mention on your blog including a link to this page: http://www.childrens-church-ministry.com/soaring-through-the-toddler-and-preschool-years.html.
How you choose the winners of the free download would be up to you; but one
method would be to have your readers leave a comment if they would like to win,
and then you could choose random winners. If you provide me with email
addresses for the winners, I can take care of getting them access to the
download.
Let me know if you have any questions of if you would like to run the
giveaway. I can send you a free copy of
the eBook as soon as I hear from you. Thanks for your consideration.

I LOVE that map. Please let us know if you do find it again.
Found the map on Amazon again!! http://amzn.to/qdz4ue
Could you think of some things I can put on a morning board that could be of interest and learning to
3rd grade girl ( think first-born)
K5 boy
Pre-K boy
Also I would love to see the rest of your homeschool room!
The skip counting and different ways of writing the date would be great for your 3rd grader, as well as the days in school. For the younger two, making the date with $$, checking the weather, telling time and temperature ~ basically a lot of what we have on our board. You can also add things like a shape of the day or color of the day for the younger ones. Be sure to check out the links on my main calendar page here and see a few more ideas and links to other great calendar setups!!

The Map!
thanks, Diane!! The set I bought also had the world map in it {North America and South America didn’t survive the transition to the new room! grins}
Found it on Amazon too: http://amzn.to/qdz4ue
I love your cherry space! Would you be willing to share the paint color that you chose? It’s great : )
I just added it to the post – thanks for the reminder (I get that question a LOT). It is Benjamin Moore Stem Green. We love it!
Thank you so much for responding to the paint question so quickly : )
most welcome – thanks for the reminder to add it to the post! :)
Jolanthe, what hooks do you use to hang up your pocket calendar and your morning board? I’m looking for some that can hold the weight of our pocket calendar, but also won’t peel the paint if I decide to move it.
They are 3M adhesive hooks – I liked the metal ones for the calendar because they weren’t as thick as the plastic ones and gave me a little more wiggle room to hang the board up. :) The 3M hooks have every now and then pulled off a little paint if I’m not super careful – I haven’t found a happy medium yet, but definitely better than something that screws into the wall. I ended up putting some touch up paint into a pint mason jar for little accidents in the school room. :)
Thank you Jolanthe!
