Most of the calendars are available in both 1- and 2-page spreads to suit your needs. The PDF version of the binder pages also includes monthly calendars for August 2023 - August 2024. These are updated in late spring/early summer ahead of the next school year.
In order to preserve the formatting I’ve used in the PPT files, directions are included to download four free fonts from Kimberly Geswein.
Please note that this resource is for one mentor teacher's use only.
