At Last My Lesson Planner has come ALong!

How many years have I been waiting for this? MANY How many other things have I tried? MANY How many times have I tried to create something neat and cute like this and failed? MANY. I have used paper planners. I have created Word templates that had to be continually revamped. I have eduplanner, school circuit and many other online planners. I have tried excel to no avail and the shagrin of my mother whom is a Controller and Business IT guy husband. I so dislike excel don't understand why the business mind loves it. I even meet Alice Keeler once at CUE and she tried to convert me to her ways of a SEXY SPREADSHEETS. Okay Dokie Alice, I am not buying it. But, now I see the light I see it I see it soo close I am almost there. POW! I opened my Bloglovin feed and I see this planner by Traci Clausen. I have just started to download and prep to use this tool. I waited and debated because I am not in the classroom this year I am a teacher on assignment I debated how will this work when planning consists of, meeting with teachers, modeling lessons, attending grade level meetings.So I waited but then I debated, I am really going to be able to walk around school sites with my phone or ipad and input into my planner all the things we need to do and hall way questions teachers ask, hall way requests and modifications to the schedule. I analyzed what I had in place. I have been using a combo pack of sorts to get by but with a combo sometimes things fall through the cracks. I use my phone to hold onto hall way questions requests. I use Microsoft Outlook Calendar to book and schedule modeling lessons, planning time release time. I also use my phone to write lists of ideas and things I need to do then at the end of each week I open up Microsoft Outlook and my phone and I try to remember and piece together my week for my Weekly report to my supervisor. Sometimes when I am on it I am able to piece it together daily. Oh I forgot on top of that I make a teacher friendly schedule to print and send out to teachers and admin because the outlook schedule is not great to look at when printed. Is it possible that I may be able to condense my combo pack of planning tools. I THINK YES. YES It is. Here it is :::::::::)

I am still working out the kinks of how this will work for me I am hoping next week will be an AHHHHH Yeah week for me with my new planner when I pull it all together but I will wait no more. I can just imagine walking around with my ipad and knowing where I am going, what I need to work on, what supplies I need etc. I also will simply need to print a copy for my teachers and admin. and it looks professional and teacher friendly. So, I begin my new journey with Numbers guided by the amazing work of Trace Clausen at Dragon Flies in First, Check out her blog and her TPT store. This lesson planner is ideal for the classroom teacher.

Happy Teaching!
