Monday Made It- Teacher Planner!

Link up with Tara!

I've never had to turn in digital plans each week to the principal

…until last year.

 The process wasn't difficult but it was WAY too time consuming!

And I missed having a written record.

One in which I could scratch through plans, add notes, etc.

I am so excited about my customized planner!

The cover was created with a page from A Modern Teacher's Owl Binder

and clip art from Krista Wallden at Creative Clips.

The next section might be my favorite part!

I want to do more reflecting this year. 

These pages from A Modern Teacher include a goal-setting organizer
and a reflection recap for each month.

I added the Kindergarten Common Core Standards,
before my planning pages,

courtesy of Rachelle Smith from What The Teacher Wants.

With this set, you can record the dates that you teach the standards

and jot notes for mastery!

With the editable version of the Teacher Binder, 

I was able to set my subject blocks and tweak the font for the planning pages.

Including a grading section in the book was important to me.

The quarter sections, grade graphs, and other pages for anecdotal notes

were created by Surfin' Through Second.

At the back of my planner, I added pages for passwords and birthdays.

These are also part of the Cool Colors product by Surfin' Through Second.

After selecting the pages, customizing some, and printing in color 

(thank you, husband, for the use of your printer),

I took the stack to Fed Ex for binding.

I chose the sturdiest option and was surprised that it was less than $6!

Hurray!

Although I'm not ready to reset the alarm
or visit the bathroom just once each day,

I am ready to dive into my first personalized planner!
Now I need to get to work on a customized planner for Guided Reading.

Applause for the teacher authors who created the bones of this project.
