I Need A Visual Daily Chart!!!

[coolconfidentme]

Does anyone know of a FREE program I can visually see who is here for a block of time? Like a spreadsheet with kids in a column to the left & hourly time along the top. Does this make sense? I know I can make one in Excel if I had the time. I'm open for 3 shifts & I mentally know why is coming & going, but it would be nice to see it for future planning. Anybody? Please & thank you!!!

I have a daily/week one I use. I do use different colors to indicate part timers , or spots being held ect..

Each child is velcroed on so it's easily movable. Hard to explain but I LOVE it! Takes all the schedules out of my head and makes it visible for others. I also just made another one to keep track of all the changes for summer and up coming school year.

I will gladly send you the two pics if you would like

Oh and on the pull off Velcro tabs I buy those little yard sale like stickers 4 colors to a pack. Kids change I just put a new sticker/ name on top

I made mine on 2 pieces of laminated card stock but have been thinking of transferring it to a dry erase board with the Velcro tabs

I can probably make you an Excel spreadsheet and upload it here in the forms section...gimme a few minutes.

I bought a board from staples, its a white/magnet board.

it was already set up and came with magnetic lables. Kind of like this....

Actually i just had a better thought. Use Google Calendar. You can make things all sorts of different colors and can probably print if needed, too.

Does Google Calendar have time slots? Like you can see a bar of time being taken by a child? I'll look when the 2nd shifters go to bed. Thanks!!

I'm old fashioned (meaning duh with computers) so I was thinking you could use a dry erase board!?
