Is an elementary classroom really complete without a classroom calendar? 😍

With the rise in digital tools in the classroom, I’m sure there are calendars galore at your students’ fingertips. 

But there is something special about having a large calendar displayed in your room.

You can bring a printable calendar into your classroom in a few simple steps!

Step 1: (Optional) Edit Calendar Cards ✏️

Not all classroom calendar sets are editable, but many come with some editable holiday cards. 

If you are using one of my calendar sets, open PowerPoint on your computer and change the words on any of the editable squares. 

You are also able to change the text into a different language or font!  Below are some holiday cards in my modern calm colors calendar. Simply edit the text to customize them for your classroom!

The entire calendar is text-editable which means you can make changes as you need. It also means that I have embedded these fonts within the editable PowerPoint file for you to use! 

This allows you to create the same look with your editable cards as with the pre-created cards. 🙂

Step 2: Print Calendar Cards 🖨️

Now is the time to print out all of the pieces you will need for your calendar! 

My calendar set is designed not to require any special printing settings. Simply set up your printer to print out normally on 8.5×11 paper and you’re good to go! 👍

Wanting to make sure you get the BEST print job on these calendar cards? I walk you through some tips and tricks including suggestions on where to print and the type of paper to use in this blog post. 

Step 3: Laminate Calendar Cards 

Laminating will save you from lots of extra runs to the printer to fix the torn, crinkled, unreadable cards. 

Step 4: Assemble Your Classroom Calendar  

Now comes the fun part – putting the classroom calendar on your wall! 

There are three different methods I have found that work well for this display. This way you can choose the best option for your classroom! ✨

Option 1: Pocket Chart 

A pocket chart is a GREAT way to display your classroom calendar. 

The main perk to using a pocket chart is the ease of changing the date cards. You don’t have to individually velcro dot or magnetic tape your date cards. You can simply slip them into the pockets. 

This calendar display by @kaitlyninkinder, shows what using a pocket chart looks like. 

She created her display on a bulletin board and used push pins to hang the pocket chart up on the bulletin board.

Option 2: Calendar Background 

If you are looking for a different option, check out how @learnwithmrstk used a calendar background for her classroom calendar display. 

To use this option, simply add velcro dots or strips onto each space of the calendar and the back of each date card. 

Then when the month ends, you can easily remove the dates from the calendar background and restick them to reflect the new month. 

You can place the calendar background on a bulletin board, as pictured above, or place it on a whiteboard using magnetic tape. 

This calendar display has been created by @itsworththewade using a calendar background, but placing the display on a whiteboard. 

Similarly, she used a calendar background, and then used magnetic tape to attach the calendar pieces and other items to the whiteboard! 

Option 3: Bulletin Board 

A final method to creating your classroom calendar display is to simply attach the cards directly to a bulletin board using velcro dots! 

This method doesn’t require any other background (like a pocket chart or calendar background). 

All you need to do is stick a velcro dot to the back of each date card and onto your bulletin board itself. I will say- it did take some time to make the calendar straight and evenly spaced out without a guide.

I first laid all the pieces on the floor and spaced them out how I liked, measured how much space it took up, then made markings on the bulletin board where each of the 4 corners should go then hung the pieces accordingly.

Note on Season & Weather Cards  

The calendar sets I have created come with placeholder cards that read “The Weather Is” and “The Season Is”. I also added season and weather cards that perfectly fit inside those placeholders. 

This picture from @kaitlyninkinder shows how to easily add space for the season, weather, and day of the week cards using velcro dots. 

So, when creating your display, simply add a velcro dot to the inside of the placeholder cards and onto the back of each season and weather card. 

Then, all you need to do is velcro on the card that fits the day’s weather and season! 

Creating a colorful and functional calendar display in your classroom doesn’t have to be difficult! Once you have prepared and assembled your calendar, it is time to start using it with your students in the classroom! 

Enjoy the connections, learning, and excitement this classroom calendar will bring! 

P.S. – As a bonus, my Modern Calm Colors calendar set also comes with a Flip Calendar!
