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!

Head over to Erin Condren on May 29th and get your own!

Back-to-School Must-Haves

If you're anything like me (Rachelle here), you are always looking for new "must-haves" for back-to-school! I've got just the list for you today and they are from Erin Condren! You know how much Natalie and I love their Teacher Planner and Life Planner...and now they have a new Back-to-School line that'll make you *swoon*.

They have a large laminated calendar that is PERFECT for a desktop and it's re-usable each year (just use a wet erase marker on it)! Would be great for your home, too. And how cute is that "Shine On" clutch that perfectly holds all of your pens, pencils and other writing tools?!? 

Don't you love the colors?

My favorites are:

3 Ring Binders (durable, colorful and cute)

Pocket Folders (these are also very durable, colorful and cute...hey I see a theme)

Journal (perfect for faculty meetings! Small, but sturdy)

Pencil Set (because I have a pencil/marker hoarding problem)

Teaching is a Work of Heart

Oh Erin Condren! You've done it again! 

Your new teacher lesson planner is absolutely beautiful. Your new concept "Teaching is Work of Heart" is a perfect way to describe the life of a teacher.  

The new planner, the cute shirt, and the new carrying case...

 I was honored to be able to visit Rachelle's home office and photograph all the new Erin Condren products. 

 

For those of you looking for a new planner, we recommend this planner because of it's versatility.  From lesson plan slots to grading graph to calendars to stickers.... AND SO MUCH MORE! It really has everything I need all in one cute, sturdy planner.  I've had an Erin Condren planner for 5 years now and I'm not sure how I lived without it.  

We LOVE our Teacher Planners!! {Erin Condren}

Natalie and I love our Erin Condren Teacher Planners.  I've had one for the past 3 years and I'm not sure how I lived without it before!  Every week that I plan, I get excited because I get to write in my planner.  Who gets excited to write in a planner? YOU WILL, when you order one! I tried to do digital lesson plans and honestly, I didn't love it.  I like to be able to make quick changes and have it sitting right in front of me. Plus, there's nothing like crossing off something on a list. 

{All 3 of my Erin Condren Teacher Planners.}

{This is Natalie's 2nd year using a teacher planner. She's hooked now too!}

Here are the planners we got this year.  

Natalie's Planner - "Education Quote - Imagine"

Rachelle's Planner - "Happy Stripes"

This is what I get out when I plan each week.  It makes it all the more fun.  

*Washi tape

*Flair pens

*What the Teacher Wants Pen/Highlighter

*Pencil

*Whiteout tape

There is so much included in the planners.  There are checklists, monthly calendars, list pages, absentee logs, a birthday chart, clear inserts (I keep my recess schedules and important pages in these) lesson pages, seating chart and so much more - and everything is in FULL color and personalized! They've thought of it all, people! I also love how STURDY they are. That's very important to me. 

I like to use blue for blogging, purple for school and orange for personal.   Can you see that my birthday is on the first day of school? FUN TIMES (said no teacher ever)! 

 Here's my favorite part EVER.  The lesson planning pages.  They are so roomy, have lines, and plenty of time slots.  I love that it goes horizontal.  I use washi tape to showcase my recess, lunch, and specials time.  

I love everything about my Erin Condren Teacher Planner! It's worth the money, for sure.

 What if your school makes you do online plans?  

I would highly suggest getting a Life Planner so that it can PLAN YOUR LIFE! I love to make lists and have a tangible calendar, so I just ordered a Life Planner last week (I'm currently stalking the FedEx man). You heard me right... I have a Teacher Planner and now I am going to have a Life Planner, too!  I *hate* iPhone calendar apps and I'm hoping the Life Planner will help me become more organized and little more balanced.
