Monthly Planning Calendar—Deanna Jump—Georgia

If you haven’t heard of Deanna Jump, you soon will.  She’s a kindergarten teacher from Georgia who writes the best primary teaching materials ever!  Her success as a teacher/author on TeachersPayTeachers is Guinness Record material.   I’m offering Deanna’s free calendar download because it’s cute as a button, ready-to-go, and 100% practical.  I also think all teachers, regardless of the grade level they teach, should have a Deanna product!
