What day is it?

Hi there blog friends!  I hope you are having a great Monday.  I am joining in on my first ever Linky Party.  I am joining in with The Primary Peach to share how we organize our classrooms.  Be sure to check out all the great tools to help you organize your classroom.

Today I am going to share with you one of my favorite parts of my classroom, the class calendar.  The first classroom that I was in had a HUGE white board along one of the walls.  I was able to put my class calendar on a section of the white board.  Unfortunately, the classroom that I am currently in does not have a big enough white board for my calendar.  It does, however, have a chalkboard along one of the walls.  So, I had my wonderful husband make my new class calendar on the chalk board using electrical tape.

I love that this calendar is big enough to be seen throughout the classroom.  It houses any important dates that the students should know about throughout the month.  My students keep a daily agenda and they know that they can not ask me what the date is.  I simply respond with "What was the date on Friday? Look at the calendar and you can figure out today's date." It only took a few weeks for my kiddos to help each other out when someone was struggling with the date.  I also love it because the students get so excited when they come in and see the events for the new month.

What type of calendar do you use in your classroom?
