All Summer while I was trying to plan my Wedding I was also trying to make a item to sell on TPT. I decided to make a Organization Planner/Binder for Teachers. I absolutely LOVE chevron stripes and polka dots, so I used those patterns and blue and purple as my theme colors.
I included a cover sheet for the planner, 11 Dividers (Lesson Plans, Common Core Standards, Student Data, Important Info, Meetings, Notes, Parent Communication, Calendars, Sub Plans, Ideas for Future Use, and Seating Chart), Class Roster List, Class Schedule, Birthday List, To-Do List, Transportation Guide (Walkers, Pick-ups, Bus Riders, and Stay-At-School), Parent Communication Log, Personal Information Data for Parents and Students, Parent Volunteer Letter, Edge Binder Inserts 1”,2”,3”,4”, and Calendars Aug. 2013- June 2014 with labeled Holidays.
On the Parent Log and Personal info for Students & Parents I have a box in the top right corner because I have found it easier to assign each student a number at the beginning of the year. Cubbies can be labeled with their number, behavioral system can be labeled with their number, ect.. so in your binder you can file them in number order. Also, I found it handy to have the line leader first in line then say “Number Order” and all the kids line up behind the line leader in correct order. For example, if Kim is line leader and she is #7 then whoever is #8 gets to be behind her and then #9 and so on. It avoids a lot of pushing and shoving.
I am SUPER excited about my 1st product, I’m not expecting rocket high sales but hopefully a few teachers will like it enough to buy it. You can find my store HERE.
