This week we finished creating our 2011 calendar, talking about each season as we went. We continued by focusing on the days of the week. Michael was already pretty confident in their order from our calendar making (repetition). I had him write out each day as shown above. 
Then I tested his ability to identify the right order of the days by putting 3 rows of days and him picking the one in the right order. Then I took one set of days and mixed them up and had him put them in the right order. We did that a couple times. He even mixed them up himself and put them back in order for variety.
I also (tried) to teach him a couple songs to help him memorize the days of the week. Didn't work well with him cuz he's not a big singer guy, but could definitely work for others (like my girls). Here they are:
*(sung to tune of The Bear Goes Over the Mountain)
There are 7 days in a week
There are 7 days in a week
There are 7 days in a week
And I can name them all.
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday is the last day,
And I just named them all!
*(sung to the theme of The Munsters)
Days of the week (snap, snap)
Days of the week (snap, snap)
Days of the week,
Days of the week,
Days of the week (snap, snap)
There's Sunday and there's Monday,
There's Tuesday and there's Wednesday,
There's Thursday and there's Friday,
And then there's Saturday.
Repeat
* (sung to tune of Clementine)
There are 7 days
There are 7 days
There are 7 days in a week
Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
We had a low-key week. Reviewed months, days, and just had some fun. Even went to the beach in the middle of the week just cuz we could :)
