Creating Your Own Project
We'll begin by creating a new document in Microsoft Word. We'll be setting up a template for our calendar by creating a table for the dates of the month. We'll also learn how to add pictures and text to our calendar. If you follow along with the tutorial movies, you will end up with a template for one month in the year. You can use this template to create a complete 12-month calendar for your own classroom information.
