Printable 2023 Superkids Calendar
This Superkids calendar is perfect for recording special events like birthdays, field trips, special guests, and more. Superkids teacher Mary Moran shared, “My children are required to study the unit and memory words nightly. I reduce the calendar and attach it to the folder that contains their words. Parents initial the calendar each night when the task is completed. A complete week of signatures earns a sticker. A complete month of signatures earns a trip to the treasure box.”
