  3. I have a great idea for monthly calendars! Just get a rectangular or square piece of card board about 7 inches tall (width doesn't really matter.) and use crayons, glitter pens markers, ect. on the card board to make a calendar! I like to add stickers.

    P.S. You should make a program to where each class can make their own calendar each month!
