Today I'm linking up with
4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It and
Skip to my Lou for Made By You Monday!
At the end of the school year, I made my lesson planner for next year. I thought about purchasing an Erin Condren Lesson Planner, but I didn't want to spend that much money. I only teach one subject, so I don't need a bunch of columns and places for different subjects. So, I decided to make one of my own.
The first thing I began looking for was a cute cover. I of course went to Pinterest, and I ended up finding a
great blog with some cute ones! I downloaded the PDF, which you can get
HERE. When you open the PDF, you choose your favorite design (good luck) and then just type in your initials. I took my saved copy to Fedex and printed a color copy.
The second thing I put together was a 2013-2014 calendar. I wanted this to be at the front of my planner. Once again, I went to Pinterest and found
THIS cute calendar. All you do is click the link and get this free calendar from teachersnotebook.com. I printed it so when I opened up my planner it would be a full month across both pages.
The third thing I put together for my planner was the actual lesson planning pages. I have one page for each week, and I printed these only one-sided so I will be able to take notes on the other side during that week's curriculum meeting.
HERE is the template I used. Please feel free to download it and make it your own. You could easily create more columns and make it front a back. I loved that I was able to customize something that was perfect for me!
After gathering everything I needed for my planner I went back to Fedex and they were able to bind everything together with a nice clear cover. All of this for less than $10. I absolutely love how it turned out, and I hope you find this easy to do!
