It's great! We try to teach our kids that there is so much to learn about in life and that you should never stop learning...so we use this as a tool to show them that learning can be fun and interesting. They love it!

Review for The Learning Calendar
Posted 1/21/2009 by Tonya Mankowski

Rating:

My 10-year old daughter really enjoyed her last Learning Calendar, so much that she asked for another one! The only drawback is: her last calendar ended on Dec. 2008 and this new calendar started on Sept. 2008. There is an overlap of 4 months that we don't use. I think it would be better to keep it a Jan. - Jan. calendar. Maybe include a coupon in the back of the calendar to entice people to reorder the next year's.

I ordered this item for my daughter so that she would have interesting facts to take to school with her and share with the class. The response was overwhelming. She now periodically shared tidbits on the morning announcements for the entire school. I am thinking of getting another to actually give to the teacher for the classroom for Christmas.

This calendar has graced the wall of my Enrichment (resource room for above average students) classroom for the past 3 years. I even save old calendars for the WEALTH of info contained therein!! I mean, a whole calendar dedicated to HISTORY or Famous People and NOW SCIENCE!! Students love to look up what is going on on their birthday or whatever day they look at and then become engrossed with checking on more and more and more days!! We have used items found on the calendar to spice up our "Interesting thought" on our morning broadcast, too! I usually purchase several of these calendars to give to children of friends as well. WELL WORTH IT!!

Rating:

This was the first time purchasing The Learning Calendar. I like being able to use the calendar right away and enjoy reading the trivia and doing some of the activities with my child. My only suggestion would be to have trivia/history and activities on days like Easter and Christmas pertain to these religious holidays and include other faiths history and activities for their holy days of observance.

Love the content. I especially love the "future events" box to fill in the current events that will be on future calendars. It's a great way to start good conversations. I wish there was some type of caption in larger/colored text to help kids contextualize the detailed descriptions.

Spectacular Science Calendar
Posted 6/1/2010 by Melissa from PA

Rating:

This is a great calendar that you and your children will get plenty of use from. We purchased the Learning Science Calendar as a gift to our three children (ages 7-10) at the beginning of 2010. Each child enjoys the fun facts and creative suggestions the calendar offers. Many days my 10 year old will fill me in on some great scientific fact that he read from the calendar such as, "North Dakota is the only state to never have experienced an earthquake". The only con is that there's no room to write daily activities. This is strictly for learning.

My rating of The Learning Calendar
Posted 11/29/2009 - OTHER

Rating:

We gave the calender to the neighbors who are home schooling. We now can talk to their kids and ask "What did you learn today". - The calender provides a diverse range of information, activities and starting points for learning. Our favorite feature is the space left to document what happened during the week that will be in the history books of the future. The experiments are reasonable and can be done with materials already in many homes or that are easily obtained. - If we were to make an improvement it would be to link the data for a particular day to another date in history to provide a sense why this was significant or its relationship to what else was going on in the world about the same time.

I think this will be a great calendar (and learning tool) for my boys. It is packed full with all kinds of fun and interesting facts. I found recipes for neat experiments in the calendar as well. The photos are bright and colorful. The only thing I'm missing is space to write things on the calendar (b-days, dr.appt...etc).

Excellent Resource For Teachers & Home School Families
Posted 11/23/2007 by Frank Falcetta

Rating:

We purchased this product for 'enrichment' of our Calvert home school curriculum. We keep an 'Interesting Journal' with the purpose of keeping record of random facts/information that correlates and connects to the curriculum content we are studying each year. This calendar is worth the money, if only for the fact that your child will get small snapshots of information that can later be connected to something they study in school or read in a book, or see on television, or hear in the lyrics of a song! Upon receipt of this product, our first task (at the request of our 10 year old) was to go through and look at the information logged for all of our family dates (bdays, anniversaries, etc.). We had a great time just looking at the pictures and captions for almost 1/2 an hour. To date, our only disappointment is that for Nov. 19, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was ommitted. However, Sadat & Begin's peace talks were certainly crucial to our world, so we had an excellent conversation about that subject. AND some correlations to what impact the Civil War had on America as we know it today. Overall, this is a great resource and certainly meets or exceeds it's own PR.

The Learning Calendar is a great piece of work. History is fascinating and this product makes it fun to learn. I would like to see more scientific data, biology, interesting chemical facts etc covered. When the year is over, perhaps it would be a good idea to be able cut the day cards into study cards. It's hard because on the other side there are the following month's facts. Otherwise, I love the product. Keep up the good work. A Happy Customer.

We've had our elementary students take turns reading aloud the day's entry on the Learning Calendar to the class. There's a wide variety of educational content on this calendar. The reading level is a little difficult for our younger students (we have a K-5 classroom), but the challenge has been good for them. Thanks for a great product.

Pretty Cool
Posted 2/22/2010 by Lisandrea Wentland

Rating:

As a homeschooler I find this calendar to be a wonderful addition to our projects & educational pursuits. The children enjoy looking up the historic scientific fact of the day, and it is typically something about which they know little or nothing--which leads to wonderful discussions! I only wish there were more experiments in the calendar--definitely needs one good hands-on item per month. We made the apple mummies in January, and they didn't produce quite the results we were hoping for. February...no experiment. Still, it's a great item--large enough for the kids to read from easily. Thanks.

I bought this for my 10 year old daughter but have to say that my 51 year old husband couldn't put it down on Christmas Day. He quizzed myself and my daughter throughout the day and would read us the different trivia. I found the information in this calendar to be very unique compared to other trivia type books I have read. It covers a variety of subjects, is interesting, and fun. I think teachers would greatly appreciate having this in their classroom. It would be of interest to both boys and girls and even adults. I would even like to see a daily Learning Calendar so I can tear off a page each day and tuck it in with my daughter's lunch box so she could share and have fun with her friends. I highly recommend this item and look forward to buying future editions.

I purchased this calendar for my 7 year-old daughter. It's a little advanced for her since she doesn't get all the references, but it's a great conversation starter, and she loves checking it every day. It's a great introduction to science and history. I think she'll be able to understand the 2010 science theme more than the 2009 inventions theme so we're looking forward to flipping the page to the new year.

My 12 year old grand-daughter loved this gift. She enjoys keeping track of days and events, and checks a calendar each day.

Calendar is great! Cover paper is too thin. Calendar within minutes of hanging it up. Reinforced it with tape and it is staying up now. Definitely a popular topic of conversation at our house.

Interesting to wide age span
Posted 8/24/2008 by S. Powell - HOMESCHOOL

Rating:

It can be challenging to find educational products that will interest both of my sons, ages 5 and 11. This calendar has become a fun thing for them to look at together in spite of their age difference. I do wish the pages were a little thicker so that the overall product was sturdier.

Lots of Fun
Posted 3/5/2008 by Allison Russo - HOMESCHOOL

Rating:

It has been great so far. I wish I had it since January so we would have more use out of it. I liked it so much, I bought an additional one for my son's teacher who is in a magnet school, and I use mine to homeschool the other boys. She reads the fact for the day, and incorporates it into the students morning writing lesson. I do wish there were different grade levels of fun facts depending on the age group of the child - like 4-6, 6-10, etc.

The daily descriptions of past history were very educational. The only thing that I was disappointed in is that the calendar was already four months old, it began in August 2007. I don't remember seeing anywhere that the calendar ran from Aug 2007 to Dec 2008.

Review for The Learning Calendar
Posted 10/7/2007

Rating:

I have gotten this calendar every year since 2003, and still love the daily events listed. I liked the heavier paper stock and staple-binding of previous years; the paper of this year's edition is too lightweight, and doesn't have the same high-quality feel. Would appreciate it if they could switch back to better paper.

I first purchased The Learning Calendar two years ago for my son. This year I purchased one for my youngest son (10) and my grandchildren (13, 9 & 10 mos.) I spoke with my brother yesterday and will be ordering another soon for my neice(11). My husband was the one to open the package and start reading The Learning Calendar ... It was hard to get it from him to hang it up... LOL! Personally I prefer to read each day as it comes (and not read ahead) -- It's fun!!

The Learning Calendar - 2009 Edition
Posted 2/8/2009 by C N Searles

Rating:

This is our fourth year getting the Learning Calendar and we love it. My girls look at it each day to see what interesting thing happened in history. I also see them looking ahead to the coming months because they can't wait to see what else has happened in history. It really makes history come alive for them. We did notice that this year the paper is a little thinner than before making the calendar a little more fragile. However, the content is still entirely worth the purchase price.

History Galore
Posted 11/29/2011 by SARAH J SEBRANEK

Rating:

I rated this a 3 because of the use for my family currently - with a 2 & 4 year old boy, they are not as interested in the history/info yet. I also wish there was more room in the date to write events down. I like and will use the craft ideas given in most months. As a former high school history teacher this is a great resource for a classroom. It is eye catching for the meandering student to browse through.

it's a very good learning tool. kids find it interesting and gives them a chance to look up knowledge that they don't know yet. it's a good way to encourage kids learn new things. kids are naturally curious and specially interested in find out what happened before or in the history on their birthdate so that's another bonus for them. each day gives just enough of information to learn or know if they are interested to know more or dig deeper they can also go online to find out more interesting topics too. we enjoy the calendar very much.

It's Holding Our Interest.
Posted 2/22/2008 by Chandra

Rating:

I homeschool 2 boys age 7 & 10. We haven't had the calender very long, but it seems to be working for us. As they are eating breakfast we discuss what the calender says for that day. The basketball entry prompted lots of interest and we looked up more information. Some of the other entries weren't as interesting to my boys at their ages. Perhaps if you decide to expand you could do calenders that are more focused toward specific interests or ages.

The Learning Calendar
Posted 1/19/2012 by Stephanie Kimball

Rating:

This calendar is full of information! It's fun to have a factoid to read each day, and spark conversations with the kids. The only problem is, most of the daily facts don't spark a lot of conversation, at least not with my kids! (For instance, Richard Nixon's birthday didn't get a big reaction.) I would prefer to read about events, even obscure/trivial events, that somehow tie into or increase understanding of life today. Overall, though, it's always nice to have another source of information and ideas, so I would recommend this calendar.

It's hard to judge on "Play Value" of this item since this calendar is more of a learning tool, but not a toy. I purchased total of 3 calendars: one - for my daughter's (she is 10) personal use and other 2 we gifted to her school for classroom uses. I hope teachers will implement information on these calendars into their daily classroom activities, so kids can learn something new on the daily bases.

Great tidbits about everything. The message of the calendar is global and touches science, nature, and responsibility as Earth's caretaker. There is space that surrounds the month's name. I hope a future edition would use up the space to house one large image that would emphasize or synthesize some of the factoids. The month's name could easily be printed in the bottom blank Margin instead of on the top.

An hour and a half later I realized that they, and my 11-1/2-year old grandson had been reading them almost since they had finished opening all of their remaining gifts! I consider this an amazing, across-the-board, equalizing education. I highly recommend the calendar...even for those children who cannot read really well yet. Just because they can't read doesn't mean they don't comprehend the content! Great product!

What a great way to spark a child's (or adult's) brain to think and ask questions and go deeper to learn more. And the subjects are so varied that this calendar will hit on the natural interests of any child so that they broaden their range of knowledge. Given the state of public education in this country, we need SOMETHING that encourages real learning, not test-taking! And this calendar will also start good conversations with parents and grandparents. I am looking forward to hearing my grandkids tell me all the fascinating things they will be taking in every day.

Too much detail?
Posted 12/19/2010 by Martha Kearns

Rating:

The calender looked like it was chock full of information....and it was. There is so much going on for every given day, that it's difficult to take it all in. My son has zeroed in on a couple of pictures that he found interesting, but the rest has just been a bit overwhelming. In addition, there is no room to use it as an actual calender, so it's difficult to indicate special dates on it....or otherwise make it relevant for him on a day-to-day basis.

Posted 11/29/2010 by Vanessa

The calendar is fantastic in terms of information. I think older children would be able to appreciate it more than the younger ones. But I read it and if I see something that my 3 and 6 year olds can relate to, I let them know in words they can understand. Then, they ask me questions, and more questions, and more questions....so watch out!...and know your history, science etc.! You will get quizzed.

History through Fun Facts

My children read the whole calendar the day we hung it up. They enjoy going back to it each morning for review. They love to remind me of events that have happened and it inspires them to do further research on the topics on their own. This is a must have for Homeschooling families and a great tool in making learning fun for anyone. I will buy another one next year too!

The Learning Calendar was not what I expected, but perhaps I did not pay enough attention before ordering. It wasn't attractive, and had too much information on one page. Would be better to have a few items each month then every single day. Much of the information was obscure. More attractive and color photos needed. I was not happy with calendar, probably will not display.

This is our first Learning Calendar and we have had a lot of fun with it, learning surprising new facts every day. They are inspiring too, and gives great perspectives. I like that it starts in August so we don't have to wait till January next year to start learning! Awesome product, we'll definitely get the next one too!

This is a gift for Christmas but the 4th one I have given and they have been outstanding. Our granddaughter was 8 when I gave her the first one and now at 12 it still appears on her Christmas list. When we talk on the phone she always tells me what the fact of the day is. I highly recommend for anyone who can read.

Each day my six year old daughter reads the daily event on the calendar which often stimulates a question and answer session. The material covers many interesting subjects: History, Science, Nature, People, Events and Fun Facts. It's the best "Did you Know" calendar I have ever seen.

The Calendar is a perfect gift even if the child cannot read yet. So many interesting facts. It's like a collection of delicacies for young minds where they can pick and choose those things of their particular interest. I found the Calendar to be especially stimulating and informative! The fact that it begins a few months before the year ends is a plus -- that should be "highlighted" in the description as this was a most pleasant surprise. I plan to send a Calendar to each of my grandchildren; even those that cannot read yet! Excellent product!

Product review of The Learning Calendar
Posted 12/17/2009

Rating:

Lots of information! Is it all "real science"? One problem: content is aimed at 10-12 year-olds. The picture on the cover of the calendar is of a 2-3 year old and therefore not appealing to this 10-12 year old set--especially boys. Also I was not aware that it started in August of 2009 seems odd. It would be simpler to have a regular 12-month calendar year. Good to have so many mentions of women but please be more selective- i.e.- Mary Austen was a great writer but makes no sense to have her used in a science calendar. Also please don't refer to women scientists as "girls." And although I am picky, I would buy next year.
