At IDEA Mission we include a K-2 calendar math portion in our daily morning meeting. It's taught in the Language of the Day (meaning one day English, the next day Spanish; you might ask how we do that in team teaching situations where the English teacher is in one classroom and the Spanish teacher is in another--at the suggestion of Dr. Mercuri, what we did last year was gather both homerooms in the same classroom. For example, on Spanish day, both homerooms taught by a Spanish/English teaching team go into the Spanish teacher's classroom and gather on the rug for the morning meeting in Spanish, whereas on English days they all gather in the English teacher's classroom. Another side benefit of this setup is that each teacher gets an additional 20 min personal prep time every other day!)
Here are some bilingual resources for calendar math that I found on PSJA's website:

Welcome to my collection of resources, experiences, and advice for launching and growing a quality two-way immersion bilingual program. I am deeply committed to bilingualism and biliteracy for every child and firmly believe that this approach is key for preparing traditionally underserved English Language Learners for short and long term academic, cognitive, and sociocultural success. My personal mission as an educator is to do everything I can to close the achievement gap and to provide every student with an excellent college prep education--particularly ELLs. If you're looking to launch something similar, or simply want ideas and resources for your bilingual classroom, I want to help in any way I can!
