The Teacher Planner YOU MUST HAVE!

This is a review in partnership with Erin Condren and contains affiliate links. These opinions are my own. I would never review a product that I did not LOVE and this my friends, is love.




It's no secret that I love my Erin Condren Teacher Planner. I have been using them for 7 years! Each time they get better and better and this year.... IT IS THE BEST ONE YET! Sorry for yelling. But, I have to be real with you. They have made the most simple changes this year, yet they make the most impact. And guess what?!?! The new planners come out MAY 29TH!

My Top 10 Favorite Features:

1. The pre-dated, monthly and weekly spreads are everything! (YES- The dates are already put in the planner for you! No writing them in yourself!)
2. Lots of checklist pages, notes pages, and a new notes section on the lesson planning pages keeps you organized and allows you to keep your do-to list all in one place.
3. 208 pages- 12 months included (so great to use over the summer to plan and organize as well) and I really like how the month view calendar is now directly in front of your lesson planning pages for that month.
4. A sheet protector is included (you can add more if you want) and is perfect to put your recess schedule in.
5. The coil is sturdier and bigger (33 mm) and comes in gold, rose, platinum or black. SO MANY OPTIONS!
6. The interchangeable covers make my heart happy.  The new designs are so dang cute...how do we even choose? Oh you don't have to! You can buy multiple covers because they are interchangeable.
7. The pages are thick and sturdy!
8. ALL the accessories this year are soooo good. The Snap-in Dashboard To-do List doubles as a bookmark/page keeper and to-do list (see above picture)! I also recommend the Planny Pack to carry all of your accessories.
9. The folder in the back is perfect for any loose papers you need to keep handy.
10. The quality of the planner is worth every penny.

I love my Erin Condren Teacher Planner. If I use something for 7 consecutive years, it shows that not only is it cute, but it is functional and effective. If you want to see more, head over to our Instagram and click on our Favorites IG Highlight circle to see video of the planner!

Here's a peek at the two doors Natalie decorated for her two kids' teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week:

As you might know, I decided to stay home from teaching for the past two years. It's fun to be on the parent side of teaching! Although I miss having my own classroom and my own group of students to love, I appreciate being able to be a room mom, PTA mom, and chaperone all the field trips for my own two kids! 

Here's a true story for you: I had already gone to the school earlier in the day to drop off teacher appreciation gifts to my kids’ two teachers. Then after lunch, it hit me - I forgot to do something for the specialty teachers and secretaries at the school! (I was a specialty teacher for 3 years and I always try to remember them and help them feel special, but this time I totally forgot!) So, of course, I hurried and made these candy bar wrappers, drove to the closest store, and was able to deliver these right as the bell rang! Moral of the story: Don’t forget your specialty teachers! They work hard and deserve to be appreciated too!

These Candy Bar Templates will be FREE in my store all week! Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
