The calendar shares some of the things that are going on in the natural world, community and cultural events, and important dates in the history of childhood, education, culture, and the natural world. This calendar reimagines the interconnections between nature, culture and childhood to contribute to a new history of the present. Important sources for this calendar, including my own research and experience, are: Mary Holland, Naturally Curious https://naturallycuriouswithmaryholland.wordpress.com/ ; The Zinn Education Project https://www.zinnedproject.org/; Slingshot Organizer and Calendar https://slingshotcollective.org/ ; Thought Company https://www.thoughtco.com/; and anyone who would like to make a suggestion as to what I should include!
