Back by popular demand is my newly updated 2013-2014 Preschool Daily Learning Notebook! I created this last year for the Teeny Tot and since she’s not quite ready for the Elementary Level Daily Learning Notebook, I made an updated one for the 2013-2014 school year.
**The updates are only to the calendar pages where they trace what day it is, and I added in the year at the top of the calendar as well, so if you already have this, you might want to just print the calendar pages to save on ink!

Supplies:
- 1” 3-ring Binder
- 3 divider tabs for numbers, letters, and shapes
- 4 page protectors
- Expo Dry-erase markers (variety of colors)
- Outdoor thermometer
Directions: Print pages 4-92 on regular copy paper. Place pages 4-11 in page protectors back to back so that these pages can be used with expo dry-erase markers and re-used. Next place the remaining pages in order in your binder. Have students use crayons, pencils, or markers to complete each day as directed in the download. (More specific instructions included in download!)
The Preschool Daily Learning Notebook includes:
- What day is it?
- Find today’s number
- Write today’s number
- Write today’s number word (I don’t always require her to do this, but added it for days when she’s on days 1-10)
I made a printable for each weekday, Monday through Friday, with traceable days on it for preschoolers. On this page she’ll trace the weekday, find today’s number and color in the circle. Trace the number (I write this in with pencil for her to trace), and then write the number word for the day. Right now I only have her do this when we’re on days one-ten.
I think her favorite activity is finding the temperature. (We have a simple thermometer right outside our front door that she checks.) Then she comes in and colors a weather appropriate outfit on her paper doll.
It also covers:
- What time is it?
- What temperature is it?
- What would I wear for this temperature?
- I can write my name (monthly name writing practice)
Each month Teeny Tot will trace the month name, then write in one number per day to fill in the calendar for each month. She’ll also color in a box for the weather. I only went to 25 on this because I figure most of us only do about 20 days per month, so I gave a few more just for you hard core homeschoolers out there! NOTE: Since she’s not ready to write the numbers on her own, I wrote them in dashed font for her to trace.
She’ll also color in one box for each day we’re in school until we get to 100! Uhem…She apparently misunderstood when I said color in ONE square…so I’ll be re-printing and we’ll try this one again!
I also added numbers, shapes, and letters to her pack. To help make them easier to find, I put in colored divider tabs so she can flip to the correct spot.
For the numbers I put lightly colored dots on each one, I plan to have her put a sticker for each dot on the numbers, then trace the number word. But you can also have them color the shape, or glue the correct amount of objects to it as well.

Really cute. Thanks.
I’m so thankful you shared the updated one for the next school year. I used the elementary one with my older son this year and his little brother wanted to have a calendar book too a little before his 3rd birthday this spring so I printed off a few pages for him to try and was hoping you’d release an update. My only question…your old format kept the weather grid on the monthly calendar page but the new format has it on a separate page. I kind of like the condensed version better. Is there a reason you changed the format?
I love this and appreciate you sharing your hard work with the rest of us. Like another comment, I’m wondering if there is an option of NOT using all capital letters for the tracing. It is default for my son to write in capitals but I am trying to encourage lowercase since that is how most writing is done.
But I love the ideas and would love to see if that change could be made.
Thanks again!
I love this idea. I am always making different activities for my 3 year old. I think it would work in Spanish since we are raising our child in a bilingual household. And these activities look entertaining, so I can carry this notebool everywhere our afterschooling takes place. Thank you so much for sharing these amazing ideas.
This is terrific. Thank you. I have searched the internet for printables just like these. I don’t know how to make them myself, otherwise, I would have. Thank you!
What an awesome resource! We’re homeschooling next year and this idea is fabulous!

This is awesome! THANKS for sharing it!
Thank you so much for sharing this, but I’m curious why the instructions say to print to page 80 when there are more sheets after that.
Thanks!
Thank you! We’re looking forward to using this great resource of yours!
I’m sorry; I didn’t link correctly to the above comment…
Thank you so much for sharing this daily notebook. My four year old always asks for school work like her brothers. This will be such a great help! I’ll be using your elementary one with my older boys.
