National Hobby Month

Did you know that 47 out of every 100 boys ages 6 to 17 in the United States played a sport in 2014? Our elementary school math activity – How Does Our Class Compare? – helps students learn cool data about children’s participation in extracurricular activities and academic programs. From the total number of lessons children take to the total number of clubs children are a part of, students can compare data about themselves and other U.S. kids.

Plan ahead. Check out our resources for National Spouses Day (January 26), Crayola Creativity Week (January 27-February 2), African American (Black) History Month (February), Digital Learning Day (February 13), Valentine's Day (February 14),  Presidents' Day (February 17), and Public Schools Week (February 24-28). Use our February and March Monthly Highlights pages to plan your month.
