Does anyone have a good link/resource for a calendar with events i.e. events in history; author's birthdays, etc.?

Maria-
I'm sure there is something out there with more for the authors, but Enchanted Learning has a nice monthly calendar with activities to do for the special day.

God Bless,

Maria, I use Literature for Lively Lessons which lists many special events for each week of the month (of the year!). For instance I learned this Tuesday, the 23rd, is National Handwriting Day (as it is the birthdate of John Hancock ).

That looks like a very helpful resource, Dawn. I'll have to check that out. I usually bee -bop all over the internet. There are so many calendar websites and so much information - really it's too much to proccess .

Some of the sites that I have used include:
-Scope system - which is one that is almost overwhelming with the amount of info for each day.
-Library of Congress site has American Memory - Day in History section. The neat thing about this site is that there are tons of historic resources linked to each entry so it's very informative.
-Today in History

-The History Channel has a today in history feature which includes a video clip of some historic event (more recent).


The month at a glance calendars are easier to use and seem to highlight some main events so you can plan in advance more easily.
-The Everything Preschool site has a format I like and highlights a couple things per day - seems to hit the biggies geared to kids.
-The History Place


And there are very specific calendars as well:
Literary birthdays
Artist birthdays
Musician birthdays

Dawn, I just checked the Everything Preschool site. Did you know that today is Squirrel Appreciation Day. Aren't you "NUTS" about squirrels?! Thanks for the site Mary.

I saw that, too, and thought of Dawn. Sorry I won't be celebrating today - no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to appreciate those little bird feeder thieves.

How could I have missed that!?!

Yes, I am *nuts* about squirrels, but see, ours are very well behaved. We'll be reading a few squirrel books today, then, and I may have to dig out the squirrel shaped cookie cutter ...
