Bulletin board calendar sets come in a variety of colors and themes for classes of all levels. Keeping a classroom calendar helps elementary school pupils develop skills related to time, such as learning the days of the week. By gathering the class together around the calendar each morning, teachers have an opportunity to engage students in critical thinking. Asking questions like, "What is the date one week from today?" and "If your birthday were on the tenth of this month, what day of the week would that be?" involves young students in keeping track of important dates. Also, recording classmate birthdays, school holidays and other important dates for the class helps children stay prepared.
Calendars for classroom use are wise for preschool through high school. For middle school and high school teachers, classroom calendars for teachers are handy for communicating due dates of projects and papers. Displaying due dates publicly improves accountability and discourages students from missing deadlines.
