the date on a blackboard

Question

What's the right way to write the date *on a student's notebook or *on a blackboard?

*on or in? I'm not very sure.

Answer 1

I would write the date in my own notebook and if I were a teacher, I might write the date on my students' notebooks (on the outside). Or I might just ask my students to write the same date in their notebooks that I write on the board.

Answer 3

If you are the teacher, you could ask the students to "copy" the date you have written "on" the board, "in" their notebooks.

Thanks a lot, very useful about on and in :) - AntMexico, SEP 21, 2009

Answer 4

You can write dates like 12/25/2009 (that's Christmas). Or you can write dates like December 25, 2009. If you need to include the day, then you could write Monday, December 25, 2009.

HTH.

isn't it neccesary adding "th"? like December 25th, 2009 ? - AntMexico, SEP 21, 2009
