Classroom Setup Files
Welcome to the "Classroom Setup" file
drawer. Here you'll find materials to help you set up your classroom.
File categories are marked in red
lettering--scroll down the page to find categories you are interested
in. If an item does not yet have a link, it's not ready yet, but will
be soon. I hope you'll find some materials for active learning that will
be helpful to you and your students!

Calendar Materials
Classroom Calendar Pieces
These 3"X3" calendar markers can be used on a calendar pocket chart, with tag board calendar posters, or run off on magnetic paper to use on the white board. They come in three styles, no patterns, AB patterns, or ABC patterns--use the items that work best for you. I like to put the pieces on with the blank side showing. Each day, when doing the calendar, the students guess which pattern will show up. Don't miss the birthday cards--you can type in your students' names and birth dates and use them with your calendar or to create a class birthday graph. Run everything off on cover stock, laminate them, then cut them out and you'll have monthly calendar sets that will last your teaching career, even when handled by children.

page is the work space, and the third page has an example. Publisher isn't that great about supporting previous versions, so choose the version that matches yours.
