Setting-Up My Teacher Happy Planner | 2020-2021

[@pitbullmomplans]

Loooove seeing how other Canadian teachers set up!! 🇨🇦 I can watch anyone, but I love seeing teachers set up how I need to set up! Wonderful video, as always 😘

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

🇨🇦 Thanks so much! Your kind words and support are greatly appreciated. 😄💕

[@ebonit.91]

Thank you so much for the suggestions about the Arc system dividers and tab folders. Adding them will help the planner work much better. Thank you!

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

They work well. I do have to caution though that the ARC dividers usually work really well, but I’ve had one or two that were a little stiff but I’ve had no issues with the pocket folders and the page protectors. Those always move freely in my Happy Planner. 😄👍🏾 Thanks so much for watching.

So happy to have found you! I'm so excited to see a fellow beautiful Black woman who teaches in Ontario and loves her a good Happy Planner!!! Crazy year we are having (and going to have), but I wish you all the best. Great set up video! You gave me tons of ideas for my own (I have 2 just for teaching - a mini and a classic frankenplanner). I'm about to venture off into a Big for the very first time. Wish me luck!

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Yay!! So glad to have to here. Yes...very “interesting” year ahead of us. 😭 I’m trying to remain positive, but would be lying if I didn’t say I was anxious about the school year. All the best this school year to you too and enjoy your big happy planner! Thanks for visiting and for your kind words. Glad you found the video helpful. 😄👍🏾💕

[@lklspackmedusagirl4768]

This was so helpful! I am a student living in Ontario also planning to setup my happy planner but needed some inspiration. You are so talented! Please do this every year!

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Yay! 🇨🇦 Glad you found the video helpful and useful. Thanks for all your support on my channel and your kind words. Yes, I plan on making more of these kinds of videos in the future. 😄👍🏾

[@theedupreneurmarta]

Combine them 🥰 I definitely had to “frankenplan” and combine to get everything I needed in my planner for this year. Love those staples folders!

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Yes....Frankenplanning is a good option. I plan on using both but I’ll see how I do with that. Yea the Staples folders work great (the page protectors and folders) but the dividers can sometimes be tight...depending on the actual divider, but not that you can’t use them (each divider isn’t created equal) but I haven’t had any issues with the folders and page protectors. Those freely move in the Happy Planner. Thanks so much for watching. 😄👍🏾

[@thecurlycurrycorner]

I love the disc system! I really like the one with the school on the front. I actually went to all the Michaels in my area to find it. Mainly because of the picture of the girl with the glasses in the middle of the planner. She reminds me of me! LOL

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

The Curly Curry Corner Hehe! I know...that divider is one of my favourites too. Thanks for visiting!! 😄👍🏾

[@CatAndrina7]

Oh my goodness! You don't know how much I loved this video. It was so nice seeing the Ontario material. I miss living in Ontario sooooo much!! Haha!

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Hehe! Come baaaaaack! 😂 Thanks Cat. 😄💕

[@vjules6135]

Wow! Great ideas! I love how you have everything in one place. I have lost meeting notes more times than I care to remember.🤦🏾‍♀️ Thank you for this video!

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Oh I know! I’ve lost a lot of meeting notes myself-since keeping them in my planner, I don’t have that problem anymore. 😄 Thanks for watching! 👍🏾

[@TeachersMakingTheBasicsFun]

Huge fan of the pocket dividers. Love your videos. It's so amazing everything that goes into a great planner.

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Thank you!! I appreciate it. 😄👍🏾

[@4thaluvofeverything]

I really enjoyed watching this! I laughed so hard at your child’s commentary in the back! I think you should frankenplann the two planners to your liking. I need to go find those arc inserts for my teacher planner. I also have different versions of think sheets too 😊 Thanks for sharing this video.

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Haha! Yea, I thought someone would appreciate my son’s commentary. Lol! It’s hard to keep him quiet while filming. 😂 Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words. 😄👍🏾

[@goldie0999]

I love what you add in to your planner! Great inspiration, I'm going to head out to Staples to get those dividers and sheet protectors :)

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Thank you! I got the dividers and pocket folders from Staples but I got the sheet protectors from Amazon (Staples brand). 😄👍🏾

[@lisabroestaff7133]

I really enjoyed your video! I bought my first planner a couple of days ago, and now I am so excited to organize it!!

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Yay!! Enjoy it! 😄👍🏾🥳 Thanks for watching.

[@MichelleGayScienceTeacher]

I am glad you shared the dividers from Staples I need them. I love your set-up! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Michelle Gay Science Teacher 😄👍🏾 Thanks for watching! 💕

[@claudiazavalagonzalez4884]

Wow I love the way you do it, you make me feel very motivated to organize my classes. Thanks for sharing 🥰

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Awesome! Thanks...glad you find the video helpful and motivational. 😄👍🏾

[@cecectconnecticut344]

I’m trying to rethink my planner notebook set up. I make my own weekly plan book pages using Google docs. I just like having my master schedule typed up and not having to rewrite all these daily things (meeting, lunch, recess,etc). So I have a plan book binder. And I have a grade book binder. And then I buy a new notebook to take to meetings. Last year I used an EC spiral notebook. But this year I bought a Happy Planner notebook.

[@dhatgirlBeckyC]

Heyyy girll! Awesome video! Let me start by saying I love the happy Planner! The gold rings(disc) looked great once you switched it onto your planner, the Pink happy planner Hole puncher is definitely cute! Your well organized and looks like your ready for the new year coming aswell! Which is awesome! You seem like such a chill teacher! It’s cool to see how teachers prepare for the new year or. Their students! You videos always have me interested! Gave a huge like! Stay blessed and keep up the great videos! 👏🏽🙏🏽🥰

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Hi Becky!!! Thanks so much for watching and stopping by. Your comment made me smile. ☺️ Hope you’re doing well. 😄💕

[@tatumweaver]

I love this setup! I need to order some of these Arc folders.

[@TeachPlanGo]

I love watching the set-up planner videos! BTW- I 💕 your intro! 😁

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Hehe! Thank you! I thought I needed a mini channel revamp and that included an intro. Thanks for watching. Glad you’re enjoying my videos. 😄👍🏾

[@katieburgess6839]

Maybe you could use your second teacher planner as a memory planner for your class. I was thinking about doing some memory planning this year for school. I was initially thinking I'd let pairs of kids work on the different weekly spreads, but with covid, I'm not sure how I'll do it!

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Yea, that’s a good idea! Decisions, decisions! I’ll let you all know what I decide to use it for. Thanks for watching! 😄👍🏾

[@JaMVengenz]

Love this!!!!

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Thanks!! 😄

[@JaMVengenz]

@@TeacherInspirationStation this will be my first year teaching! I'm excited but nervous :) I just got my first Teacher Happy Planner, and just when I think I'm done with all the supplies I need... Haha I get new inspiration! #needexpanderdiscs ❤️

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

JaMVengeance Yea the expander discs are great to have. You don’t really need the dividers but I would recommenced the sheet protectors so you can slip sheets in without hole punching. Glad you found the video useful. I have another one coming up soon about how I plan with it. Congratulations on your teaching job! All the best this school year. 😄👍🏾

[@anitadally8991]

I use august/ July for planning things for the next school year 😊. I also have 2 planners. I can’t decide between the classic and the big....

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Anita Dally I personally prefer the big. You can stick whatever pages you want in them. The Classic was too small for me. Thanks so much for watching. 😄👍🏾

[@kimarajamison6951]

My district is doing blended learning (3 in school days, 2 online learning days, and then we switch, l think). Should I get another teacher happy planner?

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

I personally wouldn’t - I would plan for my whole class in just the one planner but we’re all different. Maybe getting another one would help you be more organized, but it’s up to you. I haven’t looked into details for our district as far as school openings go, but I would stick with one for whole class day plans/lesson planning.

[@kimarajamison6951]

@@TeacherInspirationStation Ok thanks

[@katheysplan3833]

Hello, this is why I love happy planner! You're able to customize it and make your own! #createyourownhappy

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Exactly! 😄👍🏾

[@HeartOfATeacher242]

If I was you I don't think I could have chosen between the two planners either.

[@teachermade766]

Everyone is out getting their planners 😔 and I haven't bought mines yet.

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

I get mine early because they tend to sell out quickly but my Michaels still have quite a few left. Thanks so much for stopping by! 😄👍🏾

[@Angel-st6uf]

I can’t get a new one because I live in the UAE and shipping is double the cost or more. Soooo, I purchased planner sheets on tpt and I will be reusing my old cover and putting new pages in. I’ll be able to completely customize my planner down to the dividers. The only bummer is I won’t have really pretty colorful pages because I’m not spending the money on all the ink it will take to do colorful pages. But anyways that might be an option for you if you find that all the good ones are gone. You can also order them online form the website. They may have what you want.

[@anniegracie101]

You could alternate using the months, that might keep you satisfied in seeing both styles. Also, I used an additional planner for small group planning and tracking. 👍🏾

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Yea I may do that. Thanks so much for watching! 😄

[@coraappiah3632]

Do the sheet protectors stick out past the dividers?

[@TeacherInspirationStation]

Yes, they do.

[@kimarajamison6951]

Could you use those sheet protectors for customizable covers?

[@anniegracie101]

Kimara Jamison I have had the sheet protectors and they are flimsy. I don’t thing it would work for a cover because it is so thin.

[@kimarajamison6951]

@@anniegracie101 OK thanks

[@cecectconnecticut344]

That’s a good idea!

[@--jade--]

Just swap the covers girl!
