This calendar has many good points: Good size - It's the typical classroom pocket chart size, good for circle time at a traditional school, but small enough that it can tuck behind a door for use at home Bilingual - Cards are reversible from English to Spanish. We use this at home school to reinforce language lessons Many Holiday cards - The holidays are very diverse, including holidays from multiple religions, and secular holidays for the U.S. and Canada. Tons of weather cards - More than I will likely ever need Reversible date cards - so I can color code weekends and weekdays Some things that irk me and made me demote it down to a 4 star rating Cutting - Holy cow, it took forever to cut all 3 billion cards out. Well, it took a little over an hour, but still. I was not expecting that. Holiday card size - The holiday cards are juuuuusssssttt tall enough to slightly overlap the date card on the row above them. I'm just far enough on the OCD spectrum for this to bother me. I considered trimming them down in the middle (they are double ended) and packaging taping them back together, but the size is necessary if you are using the weather cards, so I'll have to get over it.
