[@mssidney81]

I bought this planner and I absolutely love it! This is my third year teaching fourth grade and I am super excited to use it!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Yay! Thank you so much and good luck!

[@miemersdavis2277]

1st-time teacher and just purchase the planner. Super excited to use it.

[@uncodedclass3337]

Just purchased and printed your planner!!! I love it!!! It's perfect!!!! 😍😍😍

[@maryannlopez1287]

I got the planner and feel so happy that I did! Thank you:)

[@ashleyhaskins8618]

Love your video. I love all of your videos/vlogs

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Thank you!

[@zelmaa5736]

Off topic... I LOVE the new couch. The cushions suit perfectly. Now I will watch the video. :)

[@BridgingLiteracy]

😍 Thanks, Zelma!

[@timetoteach6226]

Looks great Bridgette! Its so simple and clean - cant wait to purchase it! Thank you!

[@nancycox270]

Hi, I bought your planner and had it printed at Staples. Just wished I had seen this and your editing video first. Anyway, I am really looking forward to using it I love the idea of being able to insert pages and not have to carry around a heavy planner. My EC got so heavy I was tearing out pages that I didn't need just to lighten the load.

[@richelledillingham8096]

I agree its better to make your own planner that works for you instead of buying one remade. I used another planner, but I felt it was more for elementary and I like that this one I can use for middle school.

[@MyMarimac]

I would love to see how you schedule out projects and tasks! :)

[@kimberlysimpson6356]

Purchased the planner! Excited.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Yay! Thank you. I hope you enjoy it!

[@henryprokop9170]

Yes, really look like to see how you are planning on using the goals and task section.

[@taylorhutchinson7227]

Hey Bridget! I'm also going to be teaching a MAC this year. Do you have any ideas or videos on how you're going to keep track of student progress with such a wide range of standards?

[@MarcellHobbs]

I print my district’s yearly calendar from the website (at home on my Instant ink printer in color) and insert into my Arc planner with my Arc punch. It’s already color coded and works great!

[@cheergirl1760]

Do you use a specific program to make your own fonts?

[@lauracampion6781]

I've been waiting for your planner video! Thank you! Would love a video on your monthly project planning, tasks, and how you manage them in the classroom setting. It's going to be a GREAT year for all of us!

[@stokedforschool3227]

I love the video. I have the FriXion Pens, love ❤️ them.

[@jboremski]

Those Frixion pens are the greatest! Thanks for finding the really thin ones. Even more convenient that you linked them!

[@helenkarabed5713]

you inspired me to take it up a notch and get really organized! thank you for spreading the goodness and making it easy & fun to plan!

[@melissanavarro9296]

I love this planner, can't wait to start using it. I am also glad I waited for this video before printing it at Staples. Now I can print it out, now that I know how. And where did you buy that stapler for the planner? And I would love more information on how you use the projects and task for the month overview page.

[@amandafowler1165]

Those pillows look great on the couch!! Loving this planner.

[@charliesmummy1]

I purchased your planner and I love it, my only issue is the dates are not editable and are in US format mm/dd/yy and I can't use them for UK so unless I white out all dates I'll find it difficult to use. I love the monthly goals and to dos and the list for prof dev as I always forget to record at the time.

[@Antinque]

Love the Martha Stewart cover and dividers. Colors are perfect!

[@yansmith5250]

You're awesome! Your fellow teacher from The Bahamas!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Thank you!

[@PrissyGaming]

I am very interested in seeing how you use those friend Pages for each month.

[@renae5573]

I love the simplicity of this planner! Are you able to print this as an A5 size?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

You can...BUT...it won't come out as a true A5 due to the margins.

[@Jessica25710]

I love the style of your planner this year. It looks very professional. I can't wait to use it!!!!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Thank you, Jessica!

[@ReadWriteandShine]

The planner looks great! My favorite cover is the last one, as I love colors! Hehe also love how you give us options on the actual planner!

[@danamarie7069]

I love those pens!

[@TheUrbanFamily1]

Hi Bridget, I just bought your planner, and it is awesome. when you do it next year, would you be able to have a UK version on A4 slides and also the dates in UK format? It would just be super if you could. But if not no problem, I love it anyway and can modify its just a little more work than printing straight off :)

[@studyink8157]

Do you use a special hole punch for your planner? Where did you purchase it?

[@Cindy-el8dm]

She has it listed in the description box!

[@studyink8157]

Cindy Briones Thank you! Last time it wouldn't open!

[@daniellecullum8805]

What type of laminator are you using ?

[@ady22us]

Hello Bridget, I was wondering how you only included calendar up to January. How we get the rest of the months from February up to May? Where can I get it?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Ady Lopez - The Planner is June 2017 through December 2018.

[@joannemarkov]

Out of curiosity, why do the special dates and meetings pages run Jan-Dec rather than along with the academic calendar?

[@jessicaborner938]

Love it!

[@amywalker9553]

The living room is looking amazing...which I was as efficient as you, my kitchen has been half painted for the last 2 months!! Love your videos :)

[@BridgingLiteracy]

😂😂😂 I'm already starting to feel that way! I feel like it will never end.

[@hazelkelly1430]

It looks great! How do I purchase it?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

The link is in the description 👍

[@seemeplan]

I love your pencil pouch! Is it Vera Bradley? I looked online and only saw the typical long pencil cases. I like that yours has a plastic lining on the inside. Please share! :)

[@seemeplan]

I figured it out. It's the brush and pencil pouch in nomadic floral print. Lol

[@seemeplan]

Nvm. That is not the case. Where did you get your pouch?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Beth S - It is a cosmetic kit from Vera Bradley. My mom picket it up at the outlet store, so there is a good chance that it is no longer available.

[@brasileiranokuwait]

I would like to buy but I'm from Brazil! What can I do? or How can I do?

[@Erdnussbuttertoast]

Are the week-pages pre-dated? If so, for what period? I need a planner that goes through until the end of July (preferably the first week of August as well), but most planners end In June or mid-July!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

This year the planner is pre-dated through 2018 for those teachers who are year-round 👍

[@astephiesteph]

What does my child need to know for prek or kindergarten? Video please...

[@crafyk]

Are you using planbook.com, as well?

[@astephiesteph]

Also, is prek necessary if I'm home with her???

[@sthalon1]

Have you thought about adding little check off boxes in your contact log? Phone call ,face-to-face, email, class dojo ,etc.

[@luciab.pajuelo2382]

What did you use to clean your Martha Stewar planner. I've been wanting to clean mine but I don't know how. I love your planner btw, simple clean and complete👍🏽

[@bwimberly89]

So did you print your planner front and back?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+bwimberly89 - Yes. Front and back. 👍

[@samanthamoreno4087]

Really enjoy your videos 😊👍🏼 Very helpful!

[@ambergainey7009]

Could I just laminate cardstock for the cover and just use the binder rings or do you recommend purchasing the Martha Stuart Planner itself for extra sturdiness? Also are there any divers with pockets for this planner?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Amber Gainey - Sure 👍 use 5mil if possible and run it through the laminator twice. There are tons of options! Search Disc binders or Arc binder inserts.

[@ambergainey7009]

The Lettered Classroom OK thank you!

[@nikkkibudgets]

Hello, I love the ARC system, started using it last year and it was great!! I bought your planner last year and used it all year, excited to use this new one!! I was wondering though, do I have to purchase the new one for 2017-2018, or is there a way that last year's can be updated? I was wondering just in case I don't have to purchase it

[@shannelr]

Love it and thinking about getting but have one question. Does the monthly layout only come in a Monday start or can it be changed/is there an option for a Sunday start? I understand why you would have it start on a Monday as it is a teacher planner but looking at a monthly calendar my brain functions well with a Sunday start.

[@cristinamcgee5562]

Can I use my own fonts?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

You can add new text in your own fonts but the text shown is not editable.

[@MsMin1028]

i bought the teacher planner but can't open it. please help

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Min Burgos - No worries. I have a few questions. Do you have PowerPoint on your computer? If so, have you unzipped the file? Depending on your system, you might need to download a program to unzip it. Please provide any details you can about your system (Mac/ Windows) to see where it may be stuck.

[@MsMin1028]

No, i don't have power point i'm using an old windows computer.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Ok. I can update the product file to include the Planner as a PDF (You will still need the free version of adobe acrobat - get.adobe.com/reader/ -- or another PDF viewer) but it will not be editable.

[@SaharishNasim]

your teacher planner is excellent simply adorable and so much easy to edit. n ur nee home is really good

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Saharish Nasim - Thank you!

[@irynadobryak6770]

It' s great!!! Thank you for this excellent video! Waiting for a new one!

[@sandypetersen8936]

Do you write all of your plans in the planner and on planbook.com? I am a first grade teacher who teaches all subjects. I am just trying to wrap my head around where to write/plan reading groups and WIN time and all other subjects. I usually have at least 4 reading groups and 4 WIN groups. Any suggestions?

[@kaitEBee]

I LOVE the Frixion pens!

[@ashleyhartlaub1005]

Hello Bridget!! LOVE THIS VIDEO!! Sadly, I do not think I'll be using your teacher planner for next school year :( I am however interested in buying your editable teacher planner covers (Particularly the coffee one, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!) Would you be willing to sell your editable teacher covers as a separate product or products on your TPT store?? Thank you so much for the awesome videos and you are one of my favorite youtubers!!!

[@PrissyGaming]

Not that I have time for it, but I would love to learn how to make these!

[@kittyward7910]

Word of caution on the Frixion pens....the ink will fade if exposed to sunlight. I had written out some birthday cards and set them on the front seat of car to mail after school. When I returned to the car, the addresses were almost gone! I also noticed it faded in my plan book, which wasn't a big deal.

[@thenomadiceducator745]

Kitty Ward I was coming here to make the same comment! Heat will make the ink disappear which is how they actually erase due to the 'friction.' If your ink fades you can stick your paper in the freezer but it will still be fairly lighter. It's an easy experiment to do for yourself to test the pens. In one of my teacher planner groups there is someone currently upset because she left her planner in her car after writing her long term lesson plans out! I still love the pens though.

[@kittyward7910]

So it's heat. That makes sense!

[@graces100]

I now know why teachers usually hate laminating papers. It seems to be a very slow and time consuming process

[@PrissyGaming]

Yay!

[@summer9588]

first comment!!😊❤

[@BridgingLiteracy]

You are my new favorite :)
