I am linking up for another Plan with Me Sundays! This wonderful linky up is hosted by Meghan and Robyn. This week we are sharing our Back to School plans with you. I have three different planners that I use and I am hoping that once school starts again, I will be able to be extremely organized.
The first planner I plan on using is my Erin Condren Life planner. I use this planner every single day and I couldn't imagine not writing my life in it. It serves as my to do lists, menu planning, exercise log, scrapbook, and so much more. I am so in love with Erin. :-)
The second planner I plan on using is my new addition to the Condren family. This is my teacher planner. I have never used one of these before, I have always used digital plans or wrote on a printed out template that I created. I can't wait to use this planner this year and decorate it each month!!
My third and final planner is how I plan on organizing all of my TpT products, blogging, and my Etsy store. It is a Kikk-K planner, but inside is...
Yes, ANOTHER Erin Condren planner. I told you I was in love with my Erins. :-) I uncoiled my life planner and put it in a binder style planner. This is the vertical layout and it makes separating different tasks easy. As you can also see, I love to decorate my planners. I just buy $1 sticker books from Michaels and add my own custom stickers. If you are interested in any of my stickers, you can view my Etsy shop HERE. There are teacher stickers coming... THIS WEEK! So you don't want to miss out!!
Of course I couldn't leave you with JUST pictures. I also have a video for you. I take you inside each of my planners and show you how I decorate and plan on a weekly basis.
If you have gotten this far I have a little surprise for you. Do you love decorating your planner as much as I do? Well if you do, this is your lucky day. I have a set of printable planner stickers that could be yours for FREE. All you have to do is visit my TpT store for your freebie. I plan on making more printable stickers as well, so you also don't want to miss my TpT updates.
GIRL!!!! 3 Erin Condren planners! LOL you are my hero! Love all your posts! Thanks so much for linking up with us. You are a girl after our own hearts for sure!
With Thanksgiving coming up, I am reminded of all the things that I am thankful for. I am thankful for my wonderful family and friends. I am also thankful for such a sweet bunch of second graders this year. I want to keep this post short and sweet so I will leave you with one of my favorite writing activities, I'm not a turkey. I'm sure there are many variations of this activity, but I just love it so much. I love the creativity that comes out during this assignment. One of my favorites... I'm not a turkey. A turkey has feathers. I have hands. Can I ask you a question? Do turkeys go to school? No they do not. I am a student. I talk a lot. If you eat me, I can talk in your stomach. If you eat a student, you go to jail. Ohhh so creative!!
If you are anything like me, I enjoy having a straight quiet line while walking in the hallways. It makes me proud to show off my class because it shows that they have respect for other learners. And lets be real here, it is down right embarrassing when you have a noisy class walking in line. It's like a stampede is coming. For years I have used bubbles in your mouth and hands behind your back. Well this is good for the quite mouths, but I still get stompers in my class. Last year it wasn't a huge deal because our hallways were carpeted, but now they are just concrete, so noise spreads so easily. This year I decided to use marshmallow mouths and toes. I started off by bringing out the marshmallows. I had a lot of oooohhhhhsssss and aaaaahhhhhsssss... exactly what I wanted. We talked about marshmallows and used our 5 senses to describe them. This was also a perfect way to introduce adjectives. After we made a list, I let each of my students eat a marshmallow. WHAT?? We ge...
With the school year starting soon, I'm sure a lot of us are reworking our classroom management plans. Some of you may even be making your for the first time. No matter where you are in the process, I always believe that it is the most important. I've always believed that if you don't have good classroom management, then everything else you do is a waste of time. What is the point in teaching a lesson while your students aren't paying attention? You're just going to have to reteach it. Why not use your time wisely and be productive. With all of the right procedures in place, your classroom will run smoother than butter! Sure classroom management and procedures take a while to teach and learn, but it is all worth it in the end. I am currently reworking my management procedures and when I do I will make an updated post. For today though I want to share with you what I did last year. When I first started teaching I was using this behavior chart. I wasn't really a f...
I can't wait to see what your stickers are going to look like?! Thanks so sharing! You always do an awesome job!
