May Calendar Worksheet

This series of monthly calendar worksheets focus on understanding the time relationship of days within the week, the month, and within the year.

Students are provided with a generic monthly calendar at the top of the worksheet, and then provided with questions pertaining to the calendar.

The calendars are intentionally not dated so you can use these worksheets year after year.

While they can certainly be used with any age or stage as you see appropriate, I created them for 2nd and 3rd graders.

Ideas for Using the May Calendar Worksheet

Encourage your child to write out the full day of the week or month of the year to practice spelling and capitalization. It is certainly a great opportunity to talk about day and month abbreviations, so do not miss that chance!

For example, teach that the date of May 21, 2025 can be written at least two different ways:

• May 21, 2025
• 05-21-2025

Then take some time to practice!

Make sure to include that May is one of the few months that does not have an abbreviation, other than the number 5.

You could encourage looking for patterns with skip counting by 7s as you count from week to week.

Of course you can always incorporate a phonics lesson with the name of ‘May’ or any of the days of the week.

• Take note of the vowel team AY in the word May. What are some other AY words? List the other ways to spell the long sound of a: a_e, ai, ay, and eigh.
• May starts with the /m/ sound. Brainstorm a few words that begin with /m/ then a few words that end with /m/. Say several words aloud and have your child tell you whether the words ends or begins with the /m/ sounds.
  For example: stem (end), mountain (beginning), meter (beginning), Tom (end)
• Determine which days of the week have short vowel sounds.
• Count the number of syllables in each day of the week.
• Mention the vowel team AY and point it out in each day of the week. Note that it is the same vowel team used in May.

Look for every opportunity with your young ones to add to their frames of reference and reinforce skills that need extra attention.
