Let me start this week off with a little note. My husband was in San Francisco working and we decided to bring our daughter out here for her third birthday. We have seals, and museums, and trolley rides planned. But what didn't make it in my planner was that the hotel internet wouldn't work and my daughter would be up at 4:45 because her little body thinks it's almost 8am which is well past her wake up time.
That being said my Sunday post is starting a little later. so without further ado, Plan with Me Sunday - Back to School Edition.
This time of year always seems to be a whirlwind. I used to be so good at keeping up with everything, but after two pregnancies my brain is shot and if it isn't written down, then it doesn't happen. To start the school year, I want to be sure my that my planner is ready to go so I can keep on top of everything. I like keeping my planner in a 3 ring binder. The pages and my writing are big enough for my aging eyes to see at a distance. Plus, I love being able to take pages out when they are accomplished.
I think this week's post will work best as a To-Do-List (one I can put in my planner!)
1. Print all months starting with August. In my opinion August 1st is the real New Year's Day.
2. Behind each month I add the correct number of Weekly Schedules. I will use 2 pens to keep my worlds separate (blue for home and pink for school).
3. Behind each week, I add a sheet of paper for my grocery list. I can't tell you the number of times I have remembered something I needed at home in the middle of a lesson. Plus there is always something I need for the classroom.
4. I print a few Daily Schedules for those days that are just too much.
5. I type all of my lesson plans on my computer, but they have to be ready in a flash. I print these and place them behind my weekly schedule. 90% of the time, if I have written my plans out well enough, I won't have to look at them again that week. But they are there for the 10% of the time I forget something and those moments when someone walks in the room.
6. I have dividers with pockets. This way I don't lose any loose papers or that paperwork that must get back to the office, parent, ASAP! I keep all of my faculty meeting and professional development notes in the back of my binder. That way I have all of that information to quickly reference.
7. I also design products for TPT and blog. Those sections are in the back of my binder. Many times my ideas for blog posts come as I plan or teach so I can quickly note these in my planner until I have time to write.

I love that my planner, the Hello Planner from the 3am Teacher, allows me the ability to keep all of my worlds in one place. What things do you add to your planners to
