KindergartenWorks: free download teacher planning calendar

Transparency is important, wouldn't you agree? Well, I am going to flat out tell you that I am personally excited to have seven days left of school! I just rearranged my classroom last weekend in order to give some new things a try before I put new kinders that need herding into the middle of it. Getting a feel for it this week has been amazing and I'm excited to share pictures with you over the summer months.

But, while I am excited about sharing that, you, my lovely readers are excited about starting your planning for next year! Okay, I am right there with you in getting our binders in a row so that way we can start our summers knowing what we've got it all in place! So, let me remind you of how I put together a planning binder for myself that is my sanity saver.

{Click here for the original and detailed post}

My binder is my plan book and holds everything that I would consider a "master" and need for planning, meetings and such. It has tabs that are specific to me and I change those tabs every year depending upon what I used, didn't use or found my self needing from the year before.

It lays open so that I can always see at a glance what is coming up for the day and it contains my planning calendar that helps me scope out the entire year! That's it in a paragraph. Short. Sweet. Sanity Saver.

Thanks for reading! Here are 4 free planning binder covers. I've included different color palettes to hopefully find one that captures your attention.
