This a quick and easy way to communicate with parents each day. It is also a good math activity for the calendar. It can be adapted for most K-5 classrooms. It has worked great in my primary classroom for 8 years! Simply tailor any calendar to your classroom by adding birthdays, early release dates, holidays, etc. To communicate, I simply add a stamp to the block to signal a good day or if needed I write a small note in the block to alert parents to problems from that day. i.e.-- Out of seat all day. Talking. Not working today!
It is quick & easy!
Hope it makes your day easier!

I have been teaching for going on 13 years now. I have spent most of that time teaching first graders. I recently moved to Kindergarten & I love it! I am a very silly and creative person. I always want to do great things in my classroom. I love to find ways to create shortcuts that save me $ and time in the classroom. Most of my items were created for that reason. I either got tired of getting ripped off at the teacher's store or they just didn't have what I was looking for! I hope that you see something that might make your day easier or save you some coin!
