Get a daily dose of intriguing Americans

The Learning Calendar’s mission is to honor and teach about people and events that have shaped the world. This calendar is full of fun facts, famous people, brightly colored graphics, and activities to share with the whole family. Since the theme of the calendar changes from year to year, you and your family can learn 365 new and exciting things every year. This year's theme is Intriguing Americans and the calendar takes you and your geekling on a yearlong journey through American history. Who are the big names and unsung voices that have made our nation so awesome?

Not only is this calendar a fun family calendar, it's a great gift for your geeklings' teachers. Educators of all grade levels will love this calendar for providing relevant and interesting bellwork to get their students engaged at the beginning of class. It's a no-brainer for science, history, and math teachers, but English teachers can use it to teach grammar and spelling by inserting errors into the daily text for students to find and correct. Your geeklings' teachers are tired of getting lame apple ornaments and "World's Best Teacher" mugs. Get 'em this calendar and they'll not only have something useful, but it'll be something that makes your kid smarter in the process. Win-win!
