**UPDATE** You can now find an EDITABLE version of my Long Range Plans, Planning Calendar, and more in my newer Lesson Plan Series! What is the first thing you do to prepare for a new school year? Me? I have to have a plan. My husband says I kill all of the fun in things by overplanning. What can I say? I like to have a plan! Even if I don't always stick to it, it's good to know that you have a plan to fall back on. :) I actually start working on my long range plans in the spring of each year. I posted my plans last year and have received many emails about this year's plans, so here they are! I'm not sure how much help they will be since they're not "editable" but sometimes it just helps to see others' plans to get you pointed in the right direction. Just click on the image below to open up the file. I simply use Microsoft Word to create my LRP's. It's just a table that I have painstakingly merged the cells of to meet my needs. Yes, the process is very tedious and monotonous, but in the end, having my year laid on in this format is worth it! My LRP's go in the back of my lesson plan notebook for easy reference. In the front of that notebook, I have my "Planning Calendar" - this is a calendar of the year so that I can see the units (above) at a month's glance, as well as seeing other important school stuff - district dates, grade level duties, team birthdays, special holidays, etc. I also add my "flexible" read-aloud focuses for each month at the top in the "special notes" sections. Click below to see the full file. I'll be back soon to show you a glimpse of my full lesson plan notebook, but I hope seeing the "plan" helps a bit. What is your one organizational tool that helps you start the year on the right foot? Don't forget to enter my Office Max Tools for Schools Giveaway {$125+Value} - I'll post the winner TOMORROW!

How teachers plan – This is one of the more interesting ‘black boxes’ in education. There are few studies of it, yet it is clearly one of the most vital elements of the enterprise. Winging it is sometimes fun, but it’s a bad way to run a family, a business, or a classroom. Marzano reports […]

We had our first day of school with students Wednesday and I forgot how utterly exhausting and mind blowing that first day is! We did lots of rules, routines, and procedures but also made time for some fun first week things. Here is what we have been up to! You can purchase these Scholastic Order Form activities from Clutter Free Classroom HERE! I also introduced the students to the Activ Expressions! They were literally asking me about them ALL week long and so Friday, we took a Multiple Intelligence Survey using the device! I adapted this activity from Laura Candler's printable survey which you can download free HERE! You can download the flipchart by clicking the image below. Important Note: You must have Promethean Activ Inspire software installed on your computer to OPEN and use this file! Please do not download otherwise! I also made some labels to go on my Activ Expression bins. You can download those by clicking the button below! I have also decided to implement brain breaks into my classroom this year! We needed a little wake me up on Friday morning so we watched this HILARIOUS parody of I'm Sexy and I Know It, called I'm Elmo and I Know It! I am definitely adding this to my brain break file! I plan on making some brain breaks sometime this week. Stay tuned to find out how I plan on incorporating this bad boy into my brain breaks! I absolutely can't wait for it to get here!!
