Morning meeting worksheet routine
Many classrooms start the day with a short morning meeting, and the calendar is at its center. A simple routine that takes about ten minutes:
- Sing or chant the days of the week, then ask “What day is today?”
- Work out yesterday and tomorrow together, pointing to the class calendar.
- Read the full date aloud and write it on the board.
- Look out of the window and agree on the weather.
- Children complete their morning meeting worksheet at their desks while you take the register.
Count the days in school with a tally or a hundreds chart, and celebrate day 100.
Calendar worksheet for kindergarten and first grade
A calendar worksheet for kindergarten builds skills children use every day: naming the days of the week and months in order, understanding yesterday, today and tomorrow, reading and writing dates and using weather and season words. Early in the year, use the tracing version so children copy the gray letters; move to the write-in version as their writing grows. By first grade most children can fill in the whole sheet on their own.
- Beginners: trace the day and date, and circle the weather.
- Growing writers: write yesterday and tomorrow without help.
- Confident writers: use the “Today I will…” version to write a short plan in sentences.
Daily calendar printable for home
At home, a daily calendar printable makes a calm start to the morning, especially in the holidays or for homeschooling. Keep a stack by the breakfast table and let your child fill it in while you talk about the day. The “Today I will…” version doubles as a simple daily planner for older children. Store finished sheets in a folder for a record of the month’s weather and activities.
Seasons depend on where you live: in the Northern Hemisphere, December to February is winter, while in Australia and New Zealand it is summer. Choose Southern in the maker so the traced season is correct. Wikipedia’s season article explains why the seasons are reversed.
Calendar time worksheet tips for teachers
A calendar time worksheet works best as a quick, predictable routine. Print a week’s worth on Monday and keep them in each child’s folder. Start with the tracing calendar time worksheet in the first weeks of school, then switch to the write-in version once most children can copy the date from the board. Post a large completed sheet as a model, and let a “calendar helper” lead the questions each day. At the end of the month, staple the sheets together as a small book that shows how much each child’s writing has grown.
Calendar time extension ideas
- Weather graph: tally the weather each day and make a bar graph at the end of the month.

- Kindergarten skills: find more pages in the kindergarten worksheets collection.
Morning meeting worksheet questions to ask
Short, repeatable questions help children answer with confidence. Choose two or three each day while the class completes the morning meeting worksheet:
- How many days are in this month, and how many are left?
- What day will it be in two days? What day was it three days ago?
- Is today a school day or a weekend day? How do you know?
- What is the weather like, and what should we wear outside?
- Which season are we in, and what changes do you notice outdoors?
- Whose birthday or which special day is coming up this month?
Write the answers on the board so children can check their own sheets, and praise careful letter formation as much as correct answers.
