Plan With Me Sundays | My Planner

I may be a couple days late... but I am linking up with Kreative in Kindergarten and Keeping Up with Mrs. Harris for Plan With Me Sundays!

During the school year, my planner is pretty crazy. I have a teacher's version of my students' planners, except much more! Since that one is at school, I will show you my Erin Condren planner I've been using this summer and plan to continue using for personal/blog purposes.

I have loved using this planner, but it is just not enough for everything school related! 

This is what my monthly spread looks like. I am not washi or sticker crazy like everyone else yet! Note that since it is July, there is not too much going on! I am SO looking forward to a girl's trip to Vegas in a couple weeks though. :)

For the weekly view, I have a to-do list on the left hand side and use the bottom portion for dinner ideas. The morning/day/night parts of the planner work really well for me during the summer! Throughout the school year, I may use those sections for cleaning lists or important to-dos.

On the notes pages in the back of the planner, I keep large post-its for blog ideas, TpT product ideas, or even grocery lists. I love using the post-its because they are temporary and can be thrown away when not needed anymore!

I also use my Google calendar because I can access it on my computer, laptop, or phone! One of my favorite parts of Google Calendar is that events and meetings can be scheduled and shared with others. Multiple calendars that are color-coded is a favorite as well.

Now on to the fun part... the bloggers participating in this link-up got together and have a couple prizes to give away! 

 

Check out Keeping Up with Mrs. Harris' post to enter! There are not many days left!

Currently | July 2015

It is the first of the month, which means I am linking up with Farley from Oh' Boy 4th Grade for my first CURRENTLY! I have seen these so often and have been waiting for my chance to get in on the action. :)

Listening to Footloose on TV... the one with Julianne Hough. I typically need background sound when I am working!

Loving that today was my last day of Professional Development this summer until the end of July. For the last three days I have been in a training for Project Lead the Way... if you haven't heard of it, check it out! I am SO excited to teach science next year!

Thinking about my to-do list for everything I want (and need) to do on Teachers Pay Teachers. The Sellers' Challenge has really made me think about so many different things I need to do! Update my products, create product covers, update product information, create new products... the list seems endless!

Wanting a home office... with a TV for background noise. I have my desk and supplies in one of our guest rooms, but there is only one little window in that room! I am the type of person who enjoys letting the light in. I'm thinking of making an area in my living room for a small office space. Another option is to switch out the Man Cave (which has much more light) and making that my space. Mike wouldn't mind playing PS4 in the dark, I'm sure.

Needing motivation. See the endless TpT list above. :)

It is so ironic that I put being punctual as my All-Star, considering on Monday and Tuesday I was really pushing it getting to PD on time! I am typically 10-15 minutes early for everything. If I cut it close, it stresses me out! And we all know that isn't good for any teacher.

What are YOU currently doing??? Does anyone have any advice for finding motivation??? PLEASE share if you do!

Two for Tuesday | My First Link-Up!

Hi there! Today I am linking up (for the first time!) with Chalk One Up for the Teacher for 2 for Tuesday! Two of my TpT products will be on sale through Friday... you don't want to miss it!

Since July is approaching so quickly, and before we know it school will be back in session (what?!?), I decided to put two special products on sale this week. 

First up is the Student Data Folder that I use for my students' to track their data in the classroom. We all know how much the word data is stressed... why not put it in the students' hands??? Students quickly became familiar with when and how to use their folders, and before long it became a part of their routine and I no longer had to remind them to record their data!

Included in this product are 10 pages of graphs, including spelling tests, fluency, AR points, test data, assessment data, as well as a weekly reflection sheet! Check out this product here and look at the preview for more pictures.

Next up is a brand new product I created for my classroom next year... a zebra print and brights Beginning of the Year Bundle! 120 pages of everything you need to set up your classroom just with a click of the print button. Check out this product here and check out the preview to see what all is included!

I would like to create this bundle in different themes as well, but do not know what to start with. What do y'all think? What is your classroom theme? What should I do next with this product?

Link-Up Listings

Last night, something big happened to me... I posted on the TpT Tips and Tidbits page about link-ups and linky parties. As a new blogger, this is something new to me and I want to gain as much knowledge as possible!

Well, a small post turned into a HUGE collaboration on a Google Sheet! I created a Link-Up Listings document for bloggers to have one location where many different link-ups and linky parties are organized. Bloggers can easily click on the tab of which day they want to search for, and then be given a list of different link-ups to participate in! What a perfect idea for those of us who obsess over organizing things. ;)

Email Me!

To access the google sheet, please send me an email at eberryhill@gmail.com, or comment below with your email address.  I would love to share this document with as many bloggers as possible! 

Below you will find some tips for using and editing this document. Also, a HUGE thanks to all of you TpT Seller Challenge bloggers for making our lives just a little bit easier by joining and collaborating with us newbies! :)

There are 8 tabs at the bottom of the sheet. One occasional tab, and one tab for every day of the week. If there is a link-up that does not happen every week, please post it under the occasional tab.

When you click a day of the week, it will bring up any link-ups that happen every week on that day. 

There really isn't any more to it than that! Remember to email me or comment below if you have any questions or suggestions! I can't wait to start linking-up with y'all!
