I am giving away another freebie which you can get at my Teachers Pay Teachers store. I made these smaller versions of the daily objective/schedule cards to use for my homework board so I can write the homework on a card which matches the schedule but takes up less space. Hope you enjoy these!


There are 14 cards and 2 blanks cards for you to label yourself. Here is a preview. Cards are 3" X 4".
