Open the dock and tap Calendar
It lands on your board already showing the real date.
Today's date, front and centre — or the whole month.
A calendar that lives on the board: today's date large for morning meeting, or a month view for seeing what's coming. The daily 'what day is it?' ritual, sorted.
No setup screen, no import wizard — Calendar lives on the same board as everything else and it's running before the class has sat down.
The whole setup: tap it on the dock, drag it where the class can see it.
It lands on your board already showing the real date.
Daily shows today big and proud; monthly lays out the weeks ahead. Start the week on Sunday or Monday — your call.
It keeps itself current. Tomorrow it says tomorrow.
Three ways teachers actually run calendar — steal one for tomorrow morning.
Daily view plus three questions for early years: what day was it, what day is it, what day will it be? Tense practice hiding in the register routine.
Month view during planning chats with the class: 'nine school days before the trip — where does the project fit?' Real project management, junior edition.
Weekly puzzlers off the month view: how many Tuesdays this month? What date is the third Friday? Faster than a worksheet, stickier too.
I keep one board for the whole week — timetable, name wheel, timer — and just swap the background when the room needs a lift.
Every tool lives on the same board — these turn calendar into a whole routine.
…and the rest of the dock is one tap away:
Yes — it always shows the real date. No flipping paper pages.
Both. Daily for the morning ritual, monthly when the class needs to see the shape of the weeks ahead.
Yes — Sunday or Monday, whichever matches your planner.
No — no login, no install. Your board saves on this device; an account is only needed to keep boards across devices.

Open a board, tap the dock, and it's there. That's the whole setup.
