Copyright advice

I do my best to link to as many sites as possible and keep this site organized and useful for early childhood educators.

When visiting sites I have listed, please make sure you check the copyright policies for downloads and printed material.

Some sites specifically state the items available are for personal or home use and some also include classroom use.

I recommend contact a site if you are unsure of their use policy.

Also, remember you can use ideas you see on sites to create your own resources!

Trifold Board Calendar

Below is a photo of my trifold board calendar. I used Velcro on ALL parts of this calendar. It took A LOT of Velcro, but it makes the calendar so very interactive! I can take the months of the year off, pass them out and let the kiddos help me place them in order (same with the days of the week. On the back of each "flap" of the trifold board, I have used velcro to secure zip lock baggies that hold the calendar #'s. To hold the larger month headings, I used velcro to secure a large manila envelope.

The best part about this calendar is it works well in a small room, can be stored away quickly and neatly, can be used at children's level (especially during circle time where children are seated on the floor) and can be moved around and used in various locations of the classroom!
