Twelve headers, or four to a sheet
The row under the sheet holds the twelve months in order, Enero to Diciembre, one header to a sheet. Each name fills the sheet's width, so the twelve differ in letter size. For headers that match, tap Enero / Febrero / Marzo / Abril, Mayo / Junio / Julio / Agosto or Septiembre / Octubre / Noviembre / Diciembre: four months share a sheet and a letter size, ready to cut apart.
A calendar wall in Spanish
Los meses / del año, the months of the year, heads the wall and Calendario the calendar itself. Hoy es means today is: pin it beside the day's date. Cumpleaños, birthday, tops a class birthday chart with a month over each column.
- Julio prints tallest of the twelve, more than twice as tall as Septiembre, the smallest, in all three fonts.
- The three four-month sheets print at nearly one letter size in each font, so twelve cut-out headers match.
- No Spanish month takes an accent mark; the ñ of año and cumpleaños is drawn in every font here.
Questions and answers
How do you draw Noviembre in bubble letters?
Pencil N-o-v-i-e-m-b-r-e with a wide gap after each letter. Round every stroke into a fat outline, keep a ring in the o, the b and both e's, set a round dot over the i, then rub out the pencil.
What do noviembre and julio mean in English?
Noviembre is November, the eleventh month, and julio is July, the seventh. Noviembre comes from the Latin November, from novem, nine.
Are the months capitalized in Spanish?
Not in a sentence: mi mes favorito es enero, my favorite month is January. A header is different. The first word of a title takes a capital, so a calendar page headed Noviembre is right.
Is it septiembre or setiembre?
Both are in the dictionary of the Spanish Royal Academy. Septiembre is the main entry and setiembre a variant, used chiefly in Costa Rica, Peru and around the River Plate.
