It's time to get serious about this planning thing, y'all!
Our district decided on Monday night to start back in distance learning until the numbers decline in our county. I know it was a really tough decision and honestly, it was a no-win situation as there wasn't a decision would make everyone happy. However, that means I really need to get myself into gear because teachers report back next week and I've gotten nothing physically done for school! Eeeekkkk!
So today, I decided to start with some planning and organization :)
This summer, I decided to try a Junior Arc Notebook for my summer notebook. I had purchaed some Junior Arc covers a few years ago at Staples on clearance for 50 cents and had never used them, so there's no time like the present, right? :)
A few definitions might be needed here:
The Arc System is the discbound notebook system that can be found at Staples. There are other discbound systems as well, such as the Happy Planner, but they all pretty much work the same. I LOVE discbound notebooks as they are so simple for inserting and taking out pages. It works like a 3-ring binder, but with the ease of a spiral notebook. Best of both worlds! :)
The Junior notebook is for half size pages, so if you take a regular 8.5x11 page in landscape format and cut it in half, you now have a Junior notebook.
A Summer notebook is an idea I borrowed from my dear friend Rachel and you can read more about it on her blog, but the idea is to have a place to jot down ideas that you run across during the summer. I've used this idea for the past few summers, but once school started, I often forgot to reference those ideas I had recorded! So, that moves us on to....

Merging my summer notebook and my teacher planner!
This is still very much a work in progress, but I got my monthly calendars done today! I'm waiting to do the weekly lesson planning pages until I have a bit more information about what this year will look like, but I wanted to share the monthly pages with you! :) During the summer, my weekly calendar was more of a way to keep track of appointments, so I'll share that too :)
The dividers are printed on cardstock and there are 6 dividers - Calendar, To Do List, AP Stat, Forensics, Technology, and Other Notes
Behind the other dividers are just half-page note sheets. For my courses, each page has a title with chapter so that I can file ideas on the appropriate chapter page.
