Two kinds of fonts to choose from: you can pick a font that looks nice or a simple font that is easy to read which is great for kids who are just starting to learn. 3. Two kinds of borders that're colorful: you can mix and match yellow and blue borders that go well with any space or galaxy theme in your classroom. 4. Cards that you can write on: these cards are blank so you can fill them in with markers and make them fit your classroom needs. These cards are great for teachers because they are easy to get ready and help students be more independent. Outer Space Theme Visual Schedule Cards give students an idea of what they have to do every day, which helps them feel less anxious.

They are the size to fit in the pockets on your classroom wall, which makes them perfect, for showing your daily schedule. You can also put magnets on the back. Hang them on your board or put them in a big folder to label your teacher stuff.
