whiteboard calendar
heyy, advicenators :)
i have a whiteboard 11" x 14" & i want to make it like a calendar whiteboard, like this:

but without the message space on the right side. so, this is for school to mark up important dates, and i wanted to know how to do it.
now, i know you might be thinking "just draw black lines vertically & horizontally" but the thing is, the boxes are going to be kinda small and so when i go to write in it, the lines might smudge and it'll look reallyyy messy. and when i go from month to month, i'll have to erase the WHOLE thing (otherwise i'll have to erase every single little number!) and then redraw all the lines.
does anyone have any other ideas? i was thinking of using string to divide the white board, or like construction paper. what do you think would be the easiest for when i have to erase the whole white board when i switch months? i'd PREFER not to use permanent marker cause i don't want to permanently leave my whiteboard like that -- just during the schoolyear.
also, i can't really find whiteboard calendars like the one above for cheap. that's why i was thinking of converting my plain whiteboard into one that can be used as a monthly calendar.
or, does anyone have any other ideas in order to track my assignments, tests, & projects? i used to make a table like "date, subject, assignment" and have three columns but i'm a visual person and those never really cut it.
ideas so far:
- string? (but won't the strings get looser and looser as i keep erasing from month to month?)
- construction paper? (will they rip?)
thank you!

It depends on how you prefer it to look like. Its a matter of doing a design with much clarity to maximize its purpose to you. You can also try to find online samples for some reference

A lot of teachers put colored tape on their white boards to divide it into a calander. That way the only thing you have to erase are the numbers & such. Then again, they only made their calanders for every 2 weeks, so they had a lot of room to write.
I'm sure if you used thin, brightly colored tape, then it coudl work.
Construction paper would probably rip & I'm not really sure how well the string thing would work out.
Anyway...
You can usually buy colored masking tape. If you can't, then go ahead and buy the regular yellowish-tinted one and maybe color it in? Or you can just use it as-is to divide the board into the sqaures/rectangles (you can always cut the tape in 1/2 or 1/4 that way it's a lot .thinner & gives you more room to write)
You can also put a long piece of tape at the very top & Write SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIEDAY SATURDAY on the tape that way you don't always have to erase that. If you need to, leave a little space above the days of the week to write the name of the month.
To give yourself more room, get the fine, thin-tipped whiteboard markers (although I'm sure you already know that).
