Create a one-page calendar for one month this year. This project will help us practice numbers, dates, days and months, holidays and important events.
In each day box, write the day number in Spanish and the digit number.
So the 5th will look like this
5: cinco
Next, add important events that month. Mi cumpleaños is required on your birthday. You can add and color icons / designs to make it clearer to understand.
SPECIAL NOTE: In Spanish, Mondays are going to be the left-most column on the calendar.
You need at least 5 dates labeled on your calendar. See the requirements and rubric for details.
Below are some of the words you can use to label your calendar. You must include "mi cumpleaños". If your birthday falls in the summer, you may not have school activities in your birthday month. Add different relevant activities as you need.
| Español | English |
|---|---|
| mi cumpleaños | my birthday |
| examen | exam |
| fiesta | party |
| viaje | trip |
| trabajo | work |
| partido de fútbol, béisbol, básquetbol, etc. | soccer, baseball, basketball game, etc. |
| cita | appointment |
| iglesia / misa | church / Mass |
Add a holiday only if it is in your month.

| Año Nuevo | New Year’s Day |
| Día de Amor y Amistad | Valentine’s Day |
