cute calendars

The past couple of years I have used the same calendars in my students take home folders. They have worked well, but are kinda plain. I made the template 2 years ago and last year just stuck with it because it was easy to edit and it contained rules, expectations and a place to write a note to parents if needed. Well, it wasn't needed! I am serious!! I only had one student that ever needed a note home and a couple inches on the paper wouldn't have cut it (if you know what I mean).

With behavior calendars I know I am going to stick with stickers and then a marking system for other behavioral issues {tbd}. So, when I saw some adorable hand-drawn BLANK calendars on pinterest I downloaded them! Doodle Alley Art has created some pretty adorable freebies here for you! Check out this calendar for June that I just edited real quick...

How cute is this calendar?! I love how each month is a little different and you can customize these for yourself by just adding some text. Do you know how to add text using adobe reader? It is really easy... Let me show you how {first time making a screen video... no judgements please}:

Excuse the dog barking at the end... My dog barks at EVERYTHING! She is just a little fur-ball that is afraid of her own shadow... gotta love her :)

Also, there may be other ways to add text to pdf's but this is the way that I have found that is easiest.. if you know of an easier way please share! 

So, I know we aren't all on the same schedule, but you can download my pre-made files if you want to see how they look... and maybe your calendar will line up with mine :)

Anyhoo--- what kind of behavior calendar are you using? If you have a school mandatory one, this calendar would be awesome for a classroom calendar.. so adorable! I made one for June (as you can see above)... 

I am about to begin training for a 5K. I know a 5K isn't that much, but I am not a runner. I can probably run 1.5 miles on a good day, but my sister and I are going to run one in August so I really want to be able to run the whole thing. This calendar is perfect for me to keep track of my running and cross-training choices {not to mention the extra-curriculars for my children!}

Have a happy Friday :)

Lots of Emails!

I love getting emails from followers about 2 posts.

First, from my transportation tags (original post here). I get lots of requests for these! I love helping out my fellow teachers, and I love that ya'll love these tags :) Click the picture to get Car Rider, Day Care, Afterschool Care, Bus Riders, Van Riders, Walkers and Bike Riders, plus blank tags if you have something different you need to write. This is a pdf but you can easily print off blank ones and write on them or add a text box to them :)

The next post I have been recieving lots of emails about is my behavior calendars (original post here). I know my school's schedule is not the same as yours, so I am posting the word files so you can edit these to match your schedule. Keep in mind, if you don't have the fonts I used, you will need to download them to see this file in this format. I used "howser" and "smiley monster" from Kevin and Amanda. I also used apple casual (that was already on my mac). Of course you can change the fonts too :)




I uploaded these via dropbox so if any of them do not work, please let me know :) You should just have to click the download button in the top right-hand corner to save on your computer.
