Maya Calendar Activity (1 hr of class time required)
Dr Diane explains in detail how the calendar works and also provides her own Maya calendar resource, so that children can make their own to keep. Using her resources children will be able to work out what the Maya date is for today and future dates. Finally, children using their birthdate will learn about their Maya spirit companion.
