Create Your Own Themed Classroom Calendar

In order to save money, I decided to create my own classroom calendar.  I looked high and low and could not find a Safari themed classroom calendar.  So, my mom suggested that we put our heads together and create one.

I used a simple calendar template and ran it through the poster maker at school.  Then, I found a zebra patterned stencil and, with a Sharpie, I created the Zebra stripes on the background of the calendar.  I used a Word document to print the months and dates in a font that I liked.  Next, I found Safari scrapbooking paper and taped the months and dates onto it.  The last step was running all of this through my 3M Laminator (such a good purchase!) and cut each component out.

The students really like that the calendar matches the classroom and I love that it is unique!
