If you're anything like me you've eyeballed the beautiful Erin Condren Lesson Plan books from afar, unwilling to pay the price of luxury for something that should be so simple. I even thought I wouldn't need a planner anymore and tried to keep a digital planner last year but there's something therapeutic about writing my plans by hand. When I write them I feel like I remember them better or at least I am able to think more clearly. I grew up in a time (not too long ago I swear) where we had to write everything in school so this is an old habit that has served me well. I decided to indulge myself and get the Erin Condren planner this year.
I loved that there were SO many covers to choose from and I love anything floral so that was a natural choice for me. It took a few weeks to arrive and came beautifully wrapped in a pink box. Upon opening there were some goodies they had thrown inside as well as the extra stickers and page clip I had ordered.
I love that I can map out major monthly events separate from my actual daily lesson plans. The best part to me though is that there are student checklists in the back I can use for my gradebook! THIS is my favorite part. Now I can keep 1 book rather than 2-3 and that is everything to me!!
I also love love love that there is graph paper pages in the front which I think I will use for my seating charts!
The stickers are so fun!!!
So far I am in love with this planner and I think it it going to be worth the price I paid for it. The school year hasn't started yet and only time will tell but organization makes me happy and this planner makes it SOOOOOOO easy for me to stay organized!!
Happy Teaching
Ashley
