So I have been working like crazy trying to find the perfect way to make a planner that works for me and my type of class. I tried the type you buy at a store but they either didn't have enough room or had too many spaces. Anyways I ran into this brilliant idea about a post it lesson planer by the Wise & Whitty Teacher blog. Click here to where she talks about her lesson planer.
It didn't exactly work for what I needed but I just modified it to my needs.
First instead of a spiral notebook I used a binder I had lying around.
First I used a binder I had lying around instead of a spiral notebook. I put 2 whole post -its and the third is cut. Then I outline it all in black. Finally I place them in sheet protectors.
I originally used whole post its but I divided them in half. I teach 5 classes. The bottom portion is for notes, things happening that day, or things I need to do that day.
Well that's it for now. I'm really excited about this lesson planner.
I love this idea, but not sure how to use it in my classroom, as we do rotations each class period. However, my plans are constantly changing for a variety of reasons: emergency drills, behavior melt-downs, lots of sick kids, absent Paras. etc, so I need to have something that is flexible. But we're sped teachers, and it's our job to modify, so that is what i will do. Thanks for sharing this!
