互动式日历Interactive Calendar不仅看起来不错，在几种不同的场景下也都很实用。作为一名热爱启蒙英语教育的教育者，您可以利用互动式日历做以下几种活动：

1. Daily Calendar Time

2. Warm-Up Activities

3. Circle Time

教学视频解说：

通过每天的日历时间，您创造孩子每天互相交流的一个机会，不仅如此，孩子们涉及了一个全世界都在谈论的共同话题，通过这种方式，您正在为他们准备实用的对话能力和基本的背景知识。

By having a daily calendar time, you create an opportunity for children to talk at the beginning of each day. Not only that, but you are also talking about a common topic that people all around the world talk about. In this way, you are preparing them for practical conversation and essential background information.

很多时候，当谈到课堂前热身时，教师们会想到唱歌、跳舞。其实，口语练习也可以用于热身活动的，在正式进入今日重点之前，老师可以提出简单的问题，让学生上台回答，互动日历就是一个热身活动的完美选择。

All too often, when teachers think of warm-ups, they think of a song and dance. But, a speaking activity can also be used for warm-ups. Before a book reading, a teacher can ask simple questions and get students to come up to the front in order to answer the questions. Calendar time is perfect for such a warm-up activity. 

Circle Time循环时间是Maria Montessori和她的同名学校在教室中盛行的例行公事。在循环时间里，您可以做几种不同的活动，最受欢迎和最有用的是日历时间，正如前面提到的，它吸引了学生，使他们有机会上台表现，把正确的日期、天气、时间、季节等卡牌，插在正确的插槽中，这样的口语练习，提供了宝贵的背景知识，并连结今后的实际对话场景。

Circle time is a widely used routine made popular by Maria Montessori and her namesake schools. There are several different activities you can do at Circle Time. But, one of the most popular and useful ones is Calendar Time. As we stated before, it engages student, it makes them come up front to put the right dates, weather, time, season, etc. in the correct slots. It forces them to talk. It gives them valuable background experience and it provides rehearsal for practical conversations that they will have for the rest of their lives.
