McKenna Woodley This is a great way for parents to keep up with weekly newsletters without physically creating one every week. This is simple enough that it can be used, updated, and even changed up if necessary.

Could modify for HS students each month so that they could plan ahead and start to wonder/think about what’s coming next.

I LOVE @learninginwonderland’s calendar template so I took part of it and combined it with our weekly newsletter. I am obsessed with how it turned out! I also added some little boxes for students to put their Dojo points for the week and space to add them up on Friday. We keep a running tally for our Dojo store. You can purchase her calendar templates in her TPT shop! #newsletter #classroommanagement #teacherlife🍎 #teachersofthegram #teacherlife #teachersoftpt #tpt #iteach #iteacht
