I need a replacement for a beloved page-a-day calendar that has been discontinued.
I teach primary school French as a second language and for two years, have had a page a day calendar that has been a pivotal part of my classroom routine. It was called the 'Sticker a Day Calendar for Teachers' and was published by Accord publishing. Every three-day spread had stickers for each day against a coloured background. My students enjoyed guessing that colour the background would be, and in addition to talking about what day/month it was, I could introduce thematic vocabulary based on the content of the stickers. And when it was done, I could give away the stickers to the deserving :)
After searching in vain for the 2011 version, I emailed the publishers and was told this calendar has been discontinued. I am crushed. It was compact enough to fit in my tote (I don't have a dedicated classroom) and allowed me to teach so many things AND have stickers handy for rewards. I don't know how I can replace it. Can anyone suggest something?

If you go this route, you might consider which years match 2012, 2013, etc and buy whatever you can right now.
(note that holidays (Easter?) and daylight-savings-time might be different year to year, but the day of the week will be correct)
