We use this product in my classroom on a daily basis. I like how each month is themed and I especially like how each one is numbered for that specific day.

I cannot say enough good things about this product!! This is definitely one of my all time favorite purchases!!! I bought one of these individual months during the July Mondays and Tuesdays sale. After looking at it, I knew I wanted to bundle. The students love these and we have only completed five since school started!! It breaks up our math a little where they get to cut and glue the problem in their journal and then draw to help solve it. Awesome, AWESOME resource!! Thank you so much for sharing :)
