| Does anyone have a creative way to display a ginormous calendar in a high school classroom? I'll need one to display deadline dates for newspaper publication and essay assignments. |

| At a previous district I had access to Microsoft Publisher. You can make your calendar, them specify how many pages to print it on. It will enlarge the calendar and print it on the specified number of pages. It is kind of a pain to tape all the pages together though. I would give more specific instructions but I do not have access to Publisher anymore. |

Ask an administrator if your school or district has access to having one made. We have an educational service center, which works with many local districts, that can print out large posters, etc. You might be surprised. And, don't be afraid to approach an administrator . . . besides they need to earn those big bucks they make. :)
As for glamor, you can jazz it up yourself.
Or, ask an art teacher.
Other- a projector screen not used anymore, would easily hang . . . a white window blind, a bulletin board, ????
Good luck! |

I've used "blue painter's tape" to grid off squares on a bulletin board or a wall. Sometimes the squares would be large enough for post-it notes. Depending on the area I could usually get 2 months on display. Oh..and if something was really important I didn't depend on just the adhesive of the post it to keep it stuck on.
A friend of mine came up with a better idea, she put the grid on her wipe off board so that she could change it easier. Both of us also came up with the idea of buying the transparent stuff sold for table cloths and place over it--keeps it nice and clean. |

| Perhaps some variant of this will help: I had for home use a magnetic calendar that was in 4 separate sections with each section representing one week. It was dry erase. When the week was up, you just removed it erased it and moved up the other weeks. Have been thinking of a variant of this for my high school classroom. For them I probably only need 2 weeks. |
