Erin Condren Teacher Planner Comparison of New to End of Year!

About this time last year, I posted how my 1st Erin Condren Teacher Planner was utilized by the end of the year. Today, I am pulling out my brand new one for next school year of 2016-2017 and comparing it to the very much used one of 2015-2016.

I decided to show my new planner versus my end of the year planner.
I ordered next year's planner a couple of months ago when they were having a sale, and then I saw this cover. It reminded my of Kid President type quotes.
That is probably the first change I made with my teacher planner was buying interchangeable covers. I caught them on BOGO sales.

The inside didn't change much but my students were constantly giving me notes at the end of the year, so there are several that are just shoved into the front cover of my planner.

I pack this page with all of my passwords, there seems to be so many in our teacher world.

Unforunately, we do not have a lot of volunteers at my school, so this page stayed blank the whole year. I hope to change that for the upcoming school year!

Calendar pages that I thought I would customize but didn't...

Traditional pages

Attendance is a big issue in our district.
 I tried to customize the pages with washi tape,
but never found a purpose for these pages

These pages came in handy for sketching out,
 but decided not to share to much.
Erin Condren did make a larger grid this year.

I ordered customizable labels and broke down our curriculum for the year.

LOVE the lesson planning pages. I printed our schedule on small Avery labels and used washi tape to block off our lunch and specials' rotation. My favorite addition I added this year was I found a tip on Pinterest to tape off the edges per quarter using different colors/prints of tape to see at a quick glance how much longer was left in a quarter. This tip really helped me while planning for testing and report cards.

A close up of the different colors/prints I used to separate the quarters.

Another addition I used this year was the personalized dividers. They are very cute but not necessary since the planner is already broken down in sections so well.

I used leftover pages from my previous year's planner to add into this year's planner.

Great resource for staying organized.

I love the idea of these stickers but there were some left over from my previous planner, so I have even more leftovers for this upcoming year.

I love the clear sleeves and pockets, I use them for everything from schedules to stickers.

I hate the idea of wasting the extra pages, so I tore them out and cleaned up the edges to use as clipboard checks or notes for this upcoming year.

First Day of Summer Delivery

KToday was the first official day of Summer Vacation but I had voluntary meetings all day. Finally at 6pm. I got home and found a package waiting for me.

I attempted a video to show the opening of the box but my husband got a little too artsy, so I had to scrap it and since I was so excited to dive into my notebook, I decided to go old school and use photos to show what I ordered from Erin Condren.

First of all, best packaging by any company, ever!

What I ordered, plus a couple of freebies!

So for weeks, I thought of ordering a Life Planner but was hesitant of the price. I bought a Teacher Planner last summer and even though it pricey, I loved it and was more organized this past school year. I was hoping a life planner would help me become more organized in my personal life as well. Unfortunately, when I finally got ready to order a Life Planner, they were all sold out until this summer when the 2015/2016 planner comes out. Then I discovered the Deluxe Notebook with option to add a 12 month calendar. It is not as detailed as a planner but it does have the calendar, obviously lots of note paper, color coded stickers, folder, and plastic pocket.

Perfect quote for me after the year I had at work!

Free stickers!

Freebies with purchase. Tote and travel tag came automatically with $50 purchase and then you could add the markers with a notebook purchase. There are also date dots that came free with the notebook when you add the calendar insert.

Lastly, I ordered two inserts. One is a divider page that I customized and the smaller one is a to-do list Insert!

I am so excited to get organized and be colorful!
