About this resource
What's inside this resource
Twelve month labels, January through December, are laid out on one page in calendar order, reading left to right across six rows. Every label is the same 3.5 × 1-inch rectangle with a dashed cutting border, a large bold month name and a soft lavender, mint or yellow background.
One extra piece, a "This month →" marker, cuts out the same way. Set it to the left of the current month on your calendar and slide it down as the year moves on. The sheet's directions say to print at 100% (actual size) and display the months in order, starting with January. Because the labels carry no seasonal pictures, they suit any calendar wall, pocket chart, bulletin board or sorting tray.
- Classroom calendars: big, plainly spelled month words for elementary displays
- One sheet: all twelve months and a movable current-month marker
- Two files: bright pastel labels or a low-ink black and white set
