My Town Tutors is making a huge commitment for the 2014 – 2015 school year to be the#1 tutoring resource for parents and teachers in America. Our motto is “Teachers are great tutors!” Parents love the fact that every teacher in our directory is a teacher!
Throughout the school year there are some common and not so common days to celebrate in your classroom with your students. This page is a work in progress.
Our goal is to list and provide resources for special days that teachers can celebrate in the classroom. If you know of any days we are missing, please comment below and we will be sure to add the day. We also welcome guest blogs about days and lessons.
We will be listing the special days by month. Some days like the 100th day of school will be celebrated on different days depending on the start of the school year. These days are for the year 2015.
We hope you enjoy! Please share if you enjoy!
