Mini Offices

Updated! A Mini Office is essentially a reference file or folder with all a child’s personal important information right at hand.  This could be reference charts, handwriting charts, number lines, multiplication tables, vocabulary lists, handy facts and any other useful information. It is a handy way of encouraging children to work independently and to provide the necessary assistance without having to put up visual displays.

Junior Calendar Mini Office with Days, Months, Season & Weather Chart download ~ Day Week Month Season Chart

A simple, practical idea for junior primary children ~

This is a 1 page-does-it-all-in-one chart all assembled with rotating circles and slide bars instead of fiddly flash cards, pictures, Velcro and all those other bits & bobs! Once assembled, the circles rotate and viewer slides to show the right pictures and information. Easy as pie!

The child just checks the date and places the little yellow circle over the correct date, moves the circles behind the chart to show the correct day of the week, season, weather and temperature, and slides the bar to show the correct month. This chart maybe placed in your child’s file or added to your junior mini office!

Assembly instructions:

1. First download the 4 page pdf. file
2. Then cut out all the windows on the chart, the season, weather, temperature, days of the week and date circles and the sliding month bar.
3. Laminate the chart and all the circles and sliding month bars.
4. Pierce the holes for the split pins or brads as indicated with black dots.
5. Assemble the circles at the back of the chart as per instructions.  (The month sliding window bar is a little more tricky, but I hope the photos will help.)
6. Attach the  2 cardboard strips at the top and bottom of the month column with clear packaging tape. Insert the window bar  from the front through the slits and wrap it around the strips and stick ends together at the back.

It is really worth laminating this chart when you make it!

We have used our chart for over 7 years and it is still as good as new!
