How do you plan?

I'm really hoping that most teacher's dining room tables look like this.  Cause mine does, every summer!

And every summer I get all inspired and start planning.  And I usually end up changing those first plans a million times, but I still do it anyway!

Here's what I used to plan last year.  I know I know, it's a calendar.  And it's paper.  I'm old fashioned I guess but I like to see the whole month at once.  


I didn't write daily plans in here but a "gist" of each week, added important school and personal dates and when I had it the way I liked it, I could add it in my district's online lesson plan.  I do this because the online planner is not very friendly... AT ALL.  But it's a requirement so that's the way it goes. :)

This year I decided to try the same idea again, but I found a different calendar that I like a bit better, and it was $6.97 at Wal-Mart!!


As you can see it has the monthly at a glance, which I really liked, but it also had the days...


I thought this might be nice to kind of lay out particular lessons and have a bit more room if needed.

And... it's always in pencil :)

I'm going to try to use the notes column to remind me of all the cool things I found on Pinterest and the other blogs I follow!


And yes, I've already started the first six weeks :)



and here are my teaching resources that I'll be using all the time!



I really wish that the district planner were easy to use, but for the actually planning part I'll keep with this :)
