Today was a good day. The reason for the good day...well it's 4 little words... Erin. Condren. Lesson. Planner. I already posted about my first one needing to be reprinted, and the replacement one arrived today. I AM IN LOOOOOOOVE. It seriously has everything I could want (and more) in it. I know most of you have probably seen these planners already, but I'm still fawning over mine and went a little crazy taking pics of it, so I thought I would share them with you. And, for those of you who have never seen one of these planners, you can check them out/order them
here.

| The front cover |
 |
| Inside the front cover. You can actually have a personal picture added to it, I just chose not to. |
 |
| A place for all of your important info like access/log in codes and important teacher websites. |
 |
| I love having a place to list my volunteers and the sub info page! |
 |
| Holidays and important dates...including children's author birth dates. |
 |
| pages to list student birthdays |
 |
pages to keep track of student absences
|
 |
| graph paper pages...good for seating charts or tracking student projects |
 |
| long range planning pages |
 |
| Monthly calendars - there's one for every month July to June and they each have a tab so they can be easily accessed! |
 |
| Each monthy calendar also has some note pages with it |
 |
| lesson plan pages |
 |
| student check list pages...great for recording grades and keeping track of assignments |
 |
| extra note pages at the end |
 |
| stickers...some have stuff already printed on them..like assembly and field trip and there are 2 pages of blank stickers so I can make my own. |
 |
| folder! |
 |
| hard to see, but those are page protector sheets (on the right hand side) |
 |
| a pouch that comes with personalized labels and the calendars on the back cover... |
 |
| the labels that come in the pouch |
 |
| the bookmark that comes with the planner...it snaps onto the coil binding. |
Okay, so I know that was a boatload of pics of my planner there, but I really do love it. The planner has so many different customizable options so you can make it perfect for you. I chose to have 3 page protector sheets in mine instead of the standard 1 and I chose to have 28 pages of the student checklist pages instead of the standard 7. There are a bunch of other choices, which I might consider adding in next year, but for my first one, I decided to stick with just the essential add ons.
How do you guys do your lesson plans? Let me know in the comments below.
I have just been introduced to these recently and instantly fell in LOVE!!! I just wish I could afford one:-(
ReplyDeleteLast year we were forced to begin using a website for lesson planning. I did not like it. When we have to send them to administration, I honestly prefer typing them up in my own free format, no form/template to fill in. However, since I prefer my personal computer, printing and updating at school can be an issue. So, I like to have something I can edit and write notes on.
Not sure what this year's requirement will be.
If I get lucky, maybe I'll have one of these fabulous planners:-)
