Erin Condren Teacher Planner Review and GIVEAWAY



Teacher friends, have you heard about the Erin Condren lesson planner? I first heard about Erin Condren last year through some coworkers of mine at school. 

To be honest, organization is not a natural strength of mine. However, as the new mother of a two-week-old, I have been spending my summer trying to get organized and plan ahead for next school year. Therefore, I took the plunge and ordered my planner (see lovely picture above).

I am so excited about this planner that I am giving away a $25 e-gift card to one lucky teacher.

Without further ado, here is my review of the 2016-2017 Erin Condren Teacher Planner:

First of all, I love the teaching is a work of heart design. I also love the free goodies that were included with the purchase (date dot stickers, pen holder, and fine tip markers). I can imagine many long grading sessions next school year with those markers. 


On the inside of the front and back covers there is a dry erase surface for notes and reminders. 



When you open the planner there is a space for your information as well as a log for usernames and passwords. This is definitely going to come in handy as I can never keep track of my login information.



Next there is a page of helpful information for substitutes such as school schedule and people to ask for assistance.


Also included is a list of dates to remember as well as a place to record student birthdays.



In addition to daily lesson plans, a yearlong planning calendar is included as well.



Here is what the daily lesson plan pages look like. 



This is what the calendar pages look like. I love that there is plenty of space to write and that the date stickers are included. I mean what teacher doesn't love stickers?!?!



I also love that there are several student checklists included with the planner which can be used to keep track of grades, assignments, or permission slips. 



One of my absolute favorite features of this planner is all of the storage. Included with the planner is a folder as well as a clear page protector and pouch for additional storage.



Another favorite feature of mine is the reminder stickers. However, I may need more of the testing stickers since that seems to be all we do in third grade.
