    WOW Erica! It looks like full steam ahead. I really appreciate you placing the TpT products you use on during the week in your visual plans. I gives me additional resources/ideas for areas of the day that I may be lacking. Enjoy those penguins…

    Antarctica by Helen Cowcher is a fabulous penguin book (if you don't already have it) and this six minute YouTube clip shows the birth and march of Emperor Penguins.

Take the stress out of dismissal with a dismissal Take the stress out of dismissal with a dismissal binder!  I have been teaching for over two decades and this is something I use this everyday. 
How it works:
1. Gather student information on through the student information sheets.  I send these home in June but also place one in summer mailings.  If we can’t mail, I attach a PDF to a parentsquare message.
2. Once the info comes in, I number the pages according to the students’ abc order.
3.  I take the info from the sheets and type it into my editable templates.
4. I print the template pages and organize in a binder.

Fundations letter tiles used to get mixed up every single time… until I started doing this.
Each student gets a number.
I write that number on the back of every tile with a metallic Sharpie.

Done. No more lost tiles. No more mixing up bags. I reuse these year after year.

🎂Make birthdays extra special with a class birt 🎂Make birthdays extra special with a class birthday book your students will treasure! 🎉📚
On a classmate’s special day, everyone writes and draws a page for the birthday child. Then you bind it into a keepsake book they get to take home and share with their family.  My students love incorporating the birthday student’s favorite color.

It’s simple, meaningful, and creates the sweetest classroom tradition.

How I organize my lesson plans: 1. I edit my Googl How I organize my lesson plans:
1. I edit my Google based slides based template for the week.  I use my plans from last year and duplicate or copy and paste depending on if the schedules are similar.  By creating them digitally, I can edit from everywhere, all changes are auto saved, and I can give shared access to my push-in teacher and admin.
2. I print my plans and keep them in a lay-flat binder on my desk. This helps me stay on pace for the day and also makes it easier for a sub if I am out. 
3. I have tabs for other important information, which I reference.  Included in my plan book resource is a pull-out/push-in schedule template, shown above.  Included in my bundle are the other organizational forms and a few freebies (see my reel a few back of the whole book). 

📖 Do you want to get your plans organized this year?  Comment “plan book” and I will send you the link to this resource, plus the bundle, and the lay-flat binder.
