Great Calendar!

I love this calendar! I gave one to my husband last year and bought it again this year because he enjoyed it so much. My husband looks at it each day. It hangs in our kitchen where my 2 year old grandson sees it when he is here. He asks me to read it to him all the time. He seems to enjoy hearing about the pictures. This is a great learning tool for all ages.
It's Holding Our Interest.

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 Smartest Calendar Ever Made!

Years ago I had considered homeschooling my children and purchased this calendar. My children and I loved to read the daily history. We even did the research together on the daily topics. When we moved, we moved to a better school district so I have allowed my children to attend school. We came across the old calendar the other day and my daughter (now 10 & a straight A student) asked me "Whatever happened to the calendar company that made this calendar?" She had recalled the fun we used to have together while researching the daily topics. We were both excited to see after searching the web that it was still in production and we had to purchase it! My younger daughter (now 7) is looking forward to participating in our daily learning. Each morning they read the "day in history..." and talk about it during breakfast. When they come home from school they quickly finish their homework and look-up the topic on the computer before they go to sleep. They have so much fun I don't think they realize that they are learning! THANK YOU for continuing to produce this product! It is a great learning tool for children and a great conversation starter for families!
Put It Where It Will Be Read

We love our Learning Calendar. In order for everyone to get a chance to read it, we found the best place to hang it is in the bathroom next to the toilet. All it takes is 1 minute to read the daily detail. You'd be amazed to hear some tidbit of information come up in future conversations. Also, little notes about who was born when (like Pierre-Auguste Renoir in 1841) help put history in context as my children learn about other events happening during that time period.
