Step 1:

First you will fill in the full days of a week and fill in the first day of that month.

Next, you fill in the remaining days of the first week , if the start date of the month is in the middle of the week. Then fill in 2 new days for the second week after that.

Next , highlight the first two days of the second week of the month and drag to the right . The result will be the complete days for the second week of that month.

Use one line between weeks to make your Google Sheets calendar easier to read.

Continue filling in the first 2 days of the third week and then drag to the right to complete the days of that week.

Step 3:

In the calendar interface there will be a blank row . Click on a blank row then press Ctrl and click on other blank rows .

Next, you will adjust the size for each cell in the blank row. In the left column of numbers , we will extend the blank row down to change the size.

When you release the mouse, all cells in the empty row will resize as shown below.

Step 4:

Now we will move on to realigning the calendar , coloring the date box, and adjusting the font to your liking.

Next, you can write notes for each day of the event if needed. The calendar interface is quite similar to a wall calendar.

To create a copy of this month, click on the current sheet name and select Duplicate to create a new sheet. Then adjust the dates and contents of the calendar.

You fill in the first 2 days of that week and then drag to the right to automatically fill in the remaining days. Then just fill in the events you need to pay attention to, and the calendar format remains the same.
