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 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 National Spouses Day (January 26) resource, Black (African American) History Month Fun Facts, Valentine?s Day Fun Facts (February 14), and President?s Day Warm-up Activity (February 20). Use our Monthly Highlights page to plan your month!
