Teacher Planner 2015-2016 - The Lettered Classroom

[@k.m.240]

so i am in high school, i have always wanted to be a teacher. there was a time where i wanted to go into the military. now that i came across your channel i know that being a teacher is my dream! thank you!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Yay!! That is so exciting!

[@prisheyzeas4940]

The best,creative and easy planner so far. Thanks a lot...I have been teaching English literature and grammar from 6th to 9th grade. So you might make out keeping every classroom's checklist for works, activities, creativity, their individual imaginations. its like snatching your own hairs. i am so damn satisfied with your work. you're a talented lady, with so much fancy ideas in your work. Also, very perfect and tidy with your works. BEST OF LUCK. Thanks again. Do keep updating more.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Prishey Zeas Thank you for all the kind words. I love checklists and how versatile they are. I am touched by all the sweet words. Thank you for watching and check back with me for some other ideas!

[@stacmonkee]

I love,love love this planner. Every year I find myself recreating my own planner. I love the fact that its not a binder because of the bulkiness of a binder. Love this!!!

[@lindseybrouwers4644]

Thanks for the great video! I just got an Arc notebook and I can't wait to make it pretty with all the scrapbooking supplies that seem to be hiding in my basement! I also liked the idea of scanning your documents to Google Drive, I never thought to do that. It's a great solution to keeping all that paper. Thanks again! :)

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Lindsey Brouwers Yay! So happy to help make anyone's life a little easier. I know it has certainly made mine easier!

[@TheMikeandStephShow]

YAAAY!!!! I'm so glad I found another Teacher KZbinr! I'm a Preschool Teacher and you have given me so many wonderful ideas to use in my classroom! Definitely going to try all these ideas out! Thank you so much! You rock!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+TheMikeandStephShow That is fantastic! Thank you so much for watching.

[@lauramarschke672]

Love your PD tracking pages... great idea. I'm playing "catch up" right now figuring out what I've done the past few years, a nightmare!

[@lifelovejourney]

You are such a good teacher and really show the thought, professionalism, and intensity of the teaching profession. It’s truly an art and a science. Organization is not my forte but it’s my number one goal this year. (Year 27 - now teaching Special needs pre-K)

[@maritorres83]

Love it!!! So creative

[@have2eat]

14:28 "..there's like this little... almost triangle-shaped... mmnthere". Classic. That would be a "notch", lol. Thanks for posting the video. Helpful.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+have2eat Hahaha... thanks. I am always losing my words. I blame it on having two kids. My brain has never been the same.

[@toocoolformiddleschoolblog]

Yay, I'm so glad I found another teacher KZbinr! Loved your video! :)

[@BridgingLiteracy]

toocoolformiddleschool blog same to you! Watched your some of your videos and you are too precious! Keep it up girl.

[@sarahrogowski9332]

I LOVE this video! I think I have watched it 3-4 times the past few days to help set up my teacher binder for next year. I had purchased a different file from TPT, but now I am buying yours too!! Thank you so much for this.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Sarah Rogowski you are so sweet. Thank you and I hope you enjoy it!

[@thebusyhomecook7973]

I love, love, love your channel!!!!! I can't get enough of your videos!! So helpful!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Thank you so much for watching!!

[@theculinarybrain5932]

Amazing planner! I love the overall look of it and all those little things you keep in there to keep yourself motivated. I think I need both a "label maker" and a laminator ... at this instant.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Unicorny oh yes... I love anything that looks pretty! It just makes everyone happy. Thank you.

[@iamchangingtoo]

I have been thinking of creating my own planner on and off. There are three different ones that I wish to combine into one organizer. You inspire me 😀

[@pm-r6136]

Yay! That's great! I'll be looking forward to it!!!

[@katyscott5750]

Love this planner! I purchased it on your TpT the other day and I already have it printed and ready to go. Just curious- how did you turn those file folders into pocket folders?? I know how to cut them, but did you just tape the bottoms and sides? Or did you do something else?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Katy Scott to be honest it was trial and error. All I did was cut the tab off and eyeballed the angle. Then I taped the bottom and side of the folder with tape. Some people like to add glue but I hate losing all of that space! I need all that I can get. Here is a link to a video that gave me the idea. You can kind of get the general idea. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hV67h5KhbraKgpY I hope this helps! So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!

[@katyscott5750]

The Lettered Classroom Thank you! I tried with some plain file folders to try it out. I just taped mine too, it was the easiest way!

[@littleapplelearning2937]

Love love love this! I'm wanting to make my own planner this year as the Erin Condren ones end up costing a fortune after I include add ins and the shipping costs to Australia! Thank you so much! This is fantastic- you're an inspiration and I always watch your vids before school every morning!

[@HollyG1001]

Beautiful planner. I'm starting to make mine and am wondering about the purpose of the clear photo cover with washi tape on it?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

missmuse I like to use washi to block off time on my calendar. That way if there are any changes I can just peel it off and I don't have to worry about white out all over my planner. The plastic helps to make the washi more portable. Thanks form watching

[@pm-r6136]

I love you're planner!Will you be making one for the 2016/2017 school year?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Patty M-R I am making the planner available in June. I have many updates that will be helpful for next year as well.

[@shenoviamoore5955]

Thanks for all the good tips! I also teach in Alabama!!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Shenovia Moore YAY! Love hearing from my BAMA peeps. So exciting!

[@flowerchild304]

Where did you get your file folders to make your pocket dividers? The designs are super cute?? Thanks!:)

[@godoy811]

Hi! This looks great! Just wondering how you made the folders? Thanks!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

godoy811 Here is a link of the video that inspired me! Hope this helps. I opted to not add glue and just taped the bottom and sides to still have space for papers! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hV67h5KhbraKgpY I hope this helps! So glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching!

[@kafl13]

Love your planner! I am so excited to create my own version :) I was wondering what size discs you have on your planner? From what I have read, the different sizes make a big difference! Thank you!!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Kate Bee To be honest, I went and bought the rings that go with the Happy Planner. I went to Hobby Lobby and got two packs from there. Here is a link to the ones I use: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XHBT7BC/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687622&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00XHBTCOO&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0YDV974MTDHZ37HF9JGD Hope that helped!

[@kafl13]

Thank you so much!

[@midojejebaty]

i really liked your video and it got me to buy my own arc notebook and currently setting it up using your TPT planner (soon to buy). now my question is i do have other sections to add because i teach high school ( 5 separate groups so in total about 100 student ), so is the planner editable as in can i create another set of extra sections using the same font??? many thanks for this video

[@BridgingLiteracy]

midojejebaty So glad you decided to join the arc family! I absolutely adore mine. The planner is not editable. I'm just not that savy yet.... I'm still learning how to create editable documents. However, you can easily create your own sheets. I use PowerPoint only because I find it is easier to manipulate pictures and text boxes. I used two types of fonts: one is called "American Typewriter" which was already in my computer; the other is called "Moon Flower" and the link is www.dafont.com/moon-flower.font You can download this font for free! I hope this helped.

[@midojejebaty]

The Lettered Classroom thank you so much for replying so quickly. you are amazing

[@byElyCruz]

+The Lettered Classroom 00pp000pp0pkh zdpppppppzzvnnfbh

[@reyescecilia16]

This is amazing! I really enjoyed watching this. Everything is so pretty but looks extremely effective. One question, what application do use to create your calendar as well as the other papers?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Cecilia Reyes I use PowerPoint.

[@shanstrange]

I don't have the weekly planning checklist in my download, was it supposed to be in the download?

[@KristynZonsius]

OBSESSED!!! For the one this coming year, will it have weekly lesson plan pages as well?? Also, I was wondering if it will be updates for life (I've seen lots of those on TPT) or if I will need to repurchase each year? Thank you!!!

[@chuntellthomas]

I have a question... Is the paper normal size if that make sense and did you cut yours to make it fit in the binder?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Chuntell Thomas Yes. I use letter size paper and I like to use 32lb bright white paper. Here is a link of what I like to use: www.amazon.com/HP-11310-0-Premium-Choice-Laserjet/dp/B000099O2W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436048435&sr=8-1&keywords=32+lb+bright+white+paper

[@MyCardboardMoon]

So it looks like the binder that you use is smaller than a typical sheet of paper. Is there any way to make your planner bigger if we buy it on tpt?

[@MyCardboardMoon]

MyCardboardMoon ALSO - can we edit the cover page to put our own names on there? Like where you've written Teacher Planner?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

MyCardboardMoon it is a normal size sheet of paper. So there is no need to trim or measure. :)

[@BridgingLiteracy]

MyCardboardMoon I have added an update on my TPT account. Now if you go back and download it there will be a zip file that gives you access to change the name.

[@sherriberard376]

Hi, I am very interested in your teacher planner, however I cannot find your planner on teachers pay teacher. Could you direct me where it might be. Thanks

[@Tayym122]

Love this planner! Can it be updated for the next year? or are the calendars editable so that I can reuse them and change the dates?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+TeaTimewithTania I will update it for next year by June.

[@Olli85Olli]

Gosh, I have so many questions, but this is the last one, You said you used file folders from the dollar stop at target. Did they already have the slanted opening or id you do that? those look super cool!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Olli85Olli No I made those. I cut the slit and taped the edges. There are tons of videos on KZbin!

[@Pro31Designs]

great detailed video!!! what's the name and where can we find the washi ring holder? thank you in advance!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Pro31Designs I went to my local Home Depot store and purchased a towel ring holder like this one: www.amazon.com/Moen-DN8486CH-Preston-Inspirations-Chrome/dp/B0000DCFHM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451238407&sr=8-1&keywords=towel+ring+holder Nothing fancy but it works well. Hope that helps. Happy New Year!

[@Pro31Designs]

+The Lettered Classroom !!! Are you serious? brilliant just brilliant!! great find!!! thank you for sharing!!

[@lehua63087]

Maybe I just missed this in the video but did you just print this on typical paper or a heavier weight paper?

[@destinyzavala]

I am going to start an online program in Texas to get my certification. I am so excited to be a teacher but I don't have any experience teaching children, other than my 6 year old son. I currently have a bachelor's degree in supply chain management so this is a huge step. Do you have any advise for 1st year teachers with no experience?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Destiny Zavala - I'm not sure if you follow my channel, but I share my experiences and how I go about my day (vlogs) which can help with your expectations and questions. I also have 'main channel' videos that directly address new teachers, back to school, organization, behavior management, what got me into teaching and more.

[@haylie5550]

Where is your table/desk from?

[@gracegrant4044]

Thanks so much for sharing. Will be buying the teacher planner very soon I love it. Question. What is the name of the tool you used to make the tabs?

[@isishargrave5406]

Love your planner! Looking for the binder...is it no longer available? If not, do you have another suggestion?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Isis Hargrave The Martha Stewart line is no longer available. There is an Arc binder that you can get and I believe Staples and even Walmart carry that particular brand.

[@Jesus_theloveofmylife]

where do you buy your planner

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Geralda Charles the outside planner (black cover) is no longer available. The contents are my own product and I have a link in the description box. Hope that helps!

[@hikaruxianghao2916]

You are awesome, when I was little I wanted to be a teacher and i still do now. Do you have some sort of behavioral management plan, my teacher used a 123 chart, if you're bad you get a one. Five minutes off of your recess and on the fence, two ten minutes, three fifthteen minutes and, then if you're really bad you have to serve your whole recess on the fence

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Thank you so much! I have actually done two videos Behavior Management! I hope you find them useful. Part One kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXbKdoGgp9d4p5I Part Two kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIG2hoaLpblkh6s

[@tabbytheartsybear6576]

There are tons of different behavior management things to do, be sure to find multiple ones because not every management works with each class, and most of the time it has to change every so often

[@KaPow851]

How did you make the file folder inserts?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

I found those on a KZbin channel a few years back, I don't know the link. I might put those in an upcoming video. I am going to start more Planning walkthroughs in the upcoming weeks.

[@nichellecollins7566]

Excellent planner! I'm in love but I'm in college & would like to customize it to fit my needs for school. Is this planner tweakable? If so, what is the Font used?

[@amandawelbig30]

Love that I found your channel! How did you make the pocket dividers from the file folders?

[@sarahamendy]

I love your ideas and organization! I am definitely going to take some tips from this video for my first teacher planner. I could not get my eyes off of your washi tape organizer. What is holding your washi tapes and where did you get it from?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

sarahamendy Thank you so much for your kind words. It means so much to me! It's so funny that you commented on my washi tape... I LOVE that ring. My husband had the brilliant idea to take a cheap towel ring that you would install on the wall. We pulled the ring from that hook and it works perfect! Looking to get another one. My washi keeps multiplying. Here is a link: www.homedepot.com/p/Franklin-Brass-Futura-Towel-Ring-in-Polished-Chrome-D2416PC/100388813 Thanks again!

[@itshowitgoes]

Hi! I would just like to know how you made the cover of your planner? :)

[@ilovechiiodos92]

I just discovered your channel and I love it! Do you have an experience with special education? And do you know of any other KZbinr teachers in special education?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

I have some experience with Special Education but not a lot. Unfortunately, I don't know of any KZbinrs that focus on it either.

[@kateloren3189]

what is the puncher called? Have searched label puncher and can't find it. Thanks for your video, loving it over here in the UK.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Kate Loren It is an arc system punch. I have it linked in the description bar. Thanks for watching.

[@FLY2011naturally]

your planner looks very sturdy. What weight of paper did you use when copying your pages? Thanks for sharing!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

FLY2011naturally thank you very much. I like to use products that I know won't show wear and tear. I use 32lb bright white paper. Here is a link of what I use: www.amazon.com/HP-11310-0-Premium-Choice-Laserjet/dp/B000099O2W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436048435&sr=8-1&keywords=32+lb+bright+white+paper

[@donnaerickson3059]

This is a wonderful binder. I have just purchased an ARC planner and I'm looking into purchasing the pages on-line. I have a question though: I noticed on some of your reviews the print is a grayish color......Is it readable? Can the planner be customized in order to personal with color?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Donna Erickson thank you for asking. The reason for the grayish is bound to be from the printer not the product. If you encounter that problem you may have to reset your printer/ calibrate the ink. I have printed the planner multiple times for friends and coworkers and have had no issues other than my toner finally running out :( Thank you for asking and I hope this information was helpful!

[@donnaerickson3059]

Thanks so much.....Is the planner customizable in order to add color?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

No it is not customizable. I am planning on making a color version and a weekly version in the future. Thank you for your comment!

[@dvnm113]

Hi! I love your videos and TPT store. I purchased your planner but it did not come with the lesson plan template. I could not find it in the file.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+dvnm113 Email me and I will get it to you! theletteredclassroom.gmail.com

[@dvnm113]

Hi! I sent you an email :) Thank you so much!

[@Olli85Olli]

Oh! and how can I get those cute little graphics on my sheets (like the little arrows)?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Olli85Olli I purchase all of my clipart through etsy and teachers pay teachers.

[@debramay3340]

Is your planner still available? I can't find it on TpT

[@MissPerfectakakimmy]

How did you make that washi tape ring?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Kymone Samuels - It is a wash towel ring holder - I simply removed the ring portion. I picked mine up at Home Depot ($5), but you can get them anywhere.

[@lifebythespoonful9911]

Are you going to be releasing a new planner for this year? I am planning on buying your planner but if you will be releasing a new one on TPT I will hold off.

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Yes! I will have it out sometime in June!

[@lifebythespoonful9911]

+The Lettered Classroom Awesome! I can't wait to see what you do in 4th grade. I am moving to teach 4th grade Steam and ELA. I feel like I'm not alone in this new journey!

[@marscastillo-alvarez5250]

Are you able to change the Common Core section into TEKS for those of us who teach in Texas?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Marcela Castillo I may try and come up with something over the summer.

[@lenarae3393]

Sooo I found you over the weekend and I can not get enough of your videos. I have passed your name to my data coach and to all the teachers that would listen to me! Your so fun to watch AND you have great ideas. Soooo I wanted to know if you were going to make the SAME planner for next year?? I love everything about it! I wish I had this back in August. I am going to finish up this year with ur planner and a three ring binder, I'm not too sure I like the thingy u used lol. But it is less bulky! Idk. But anyway will u be making a 2016-2017 soon?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Marlena Rainey I completely know how you feel and the thing that I have loved the most is how easy it was to fit my needs. I am working on one for next year and will get that posted in June. Look for the video and thank you for watching!

[@lenarae3393]

Thanks for letting me know when to look for it...I can't wait. :)

[@joyjoyq77]

Hi! These planner pages...are they of your own design or did you purchase them via Etsy, or something? I've purchased personal planner pages in Etsy and like you have something that is already set up. Lemme know if you can. Thanks!

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Joyce Erika Flores I made mine. I have it linked in the description bar above.

[@Olli85Olli]

Hi Bridget! What size paper do you use for the planner? Thank you! Such a helpful video :)

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Olli85Olli I use your normal paper. I wanted it to be handy especially if I added notes or lesson plans. I didn't want to go through the hassle of cutting and resizing.

[@kateloren3189]

Also, what computer program do you use to create your planner?

[@BridgingLiteracy]

Kate Loren I like to use PowerPoint for the majority of my products. It is easier to manipulate clipart and tables.

[@matildacollins8077]

l live in Alabama and plan on starting a Child Development course this fall! Nice Video :)

[@SantiGAM-ER]

Hi can I buy from you a planner for 2020-21 -- pleaseeeeeeee?

[@KarolinasKrafts]

Really liked your video!

[@TechCristina]

very nice, but I don't know how well it would work for secondary teachers

[@annurana3314]

I totally believe in not having a cluttered spot 2 look at. It sticks in my brain and takes away my focus cuz i'm irritated knowing a cluttered spot exists..ugh!

[@fresheyesonteaching7336]

Great, would like to talk to you about an opportunity

[@marscastillo-alvarez5250]

I see hot cheetoh fingers :P thank you so much for this video! This answered my question about the planner you were using :)

[@BridgingLiteracy]

+Marcela Castillo Hahahahahahahaha!!!!! I love me some hot Cheetos.

[@bellas7832]
