Thank you so much for letting me get my thoughts out about our principal leaving. As promised, I’m back with an educational idea that you can use in your classrooms. I use these cute calendars for so many purposes during the year and I just finished updating them for the new school year last night. Sure I could use blank printable calendars, but where’s the fun in that? =) I make them in two versions, one with blank squares and one with black and white icons.

The blank squares have more room for writing. I use them for unit planning, recording parent contacts, and even give them to my students for keeping track of writing workshop deadlines, book reports, etc. They look great on monthly bulletin boards and newsletters too.

The icon squares don’t have much room to write, but I use those for reading logs. Students can color a picture every night they read for at least 30 minutes at home (or are read to). I’ve also used these in individual behavior plans too and have students color the picture if they met their daily goal.
I’ve uploaded the templates to my TpT store, but I’m giving them away to my first three teacher friends to leave a comment saying how you’d use the calendars in your classroom. Be sure to leave your email address so I can send you the files!

These would be great to go over the monthly events at the beginning of the month!! The kiddos could take them home and review with their parents! So cute!

I would love to put these into my students D.O.T (daily organizational tool) binder. They could use these to log behavior and homework status each day and at the ending of the week have parents sign them! Awesome!! Thanks so much for these cute calendars 🙂

WOW! You were super fast. I'm sending them over now. =)
Ah so close!!! lol These are adorable! These are going on my TPT wish list for my August shopping spree. They would be perfect to put in my students F.I.R.S.T. binder every month with updates about events going on in school and in our classroom.

Wonderful calendars! I would send one home at thw beginning of the month. They could be put on the e refrigerator, so parents will know what we will be studying each weed and any activities.
I know I'm too late for the freebie but I wanted to tell you that these are really cute. I could use these for my students to keep track of their homework completion and for their reading logs. Thanks for sharing your ideas!
Just read your post on your principal leaving. I am sorry to hear that. We are in the same situation as our's is leaving too. Good luck to you and your school! Love your cute calendars!

I really like these calendars! I'm going to use them for my own sanity, simply because they're cute and entertaining for myself. I also like your idea where the students color in their own calendars. I may steal it!
