What is a School Desk Calendar?

A school desk calendar is a chart or series of pages that show days, weeks, months, and events in a year.

How to make a School Desk Calendar?

Three types of extracurricular activities held in schools every year—sports, lessons, and clubs. The United States Census Bureau states that among the three extracurricular activities in 2018, 42% of school-aged children were engaged in sports, 30% of them were committed in lessons, and 28% were into clubs. It also states that 9% of children engaged in all three extracurricular activities. As these statistics state that most of the students engaged more in sports. It shows that students who engaged in activities will improve their learning performance and desire to succeed academically.

Like what Morgan Freeman said, "When I was a teenager, I began to settle into school because I'd discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater." Students will also settle into school if they open themselves into activities that interest them. To show your students the activities next year, you should make a school desk calendar. It is easier for you and them to look at and keep track of the weekly activities and events. You can use our calendar templates for your convenience.

Leave more spaces on each page so you can write some new updates for the events. Also, don't forget to change the year to the current year in thousands—2019, 2020, or 2021.

4. Consider Formatting

After filling the dates with the events and activities, consider formatting the layout by choosing the appropriate colors, styles, and sizes. You can also insert some designs. But be careful not to overboard it. Just make it simple. Overriding with designs in your desk calendar is unnecessary and will create interference with the texts in the calendar. Having a white background is enough for a desk calendar.
