Oh, the thrill of the new school year approaching!  As a second year teacher, I am more excited, as well as feel more prepared, for the start of the school year than last year.  I've been working on classroom projects, planning exciting lessons, and enjoying the dog days of summer!  I've been loving on some TpT (www.teacherspayteachers.com) free downloads, and have enjoyed visiting various blogs for Common Core, Math Center, and third grade ideas.

All of the above has kept me busy while the husband is back to deployment.  Although I am excited about the beginning of the school year (and the busy-ness of paperwork), I am trying to really plan ahead and prioritize things so when my husband returns from deployment I will be able to spend time with him without feeling guilty of the massive stack of work piling up on my teacher's desk.

I've been searching for a great template for planning pages, and although I have found some that would work, I have yet to find one I absolutely love.  I am planning on putting planning pages in my teacher binder, as well as almost everything else, so I have a central source for my information.  Since I couldn't find what I was looking for, I spent about 30 minutes creating my own.  I have put a link to them via GoogleDocs, and you can see the various texts I used for fun!

Lesson Plan Pages:
Cursive
Funky
College Casual

Enjoy!  I'm hoping to post a tutorial later in the weekend, so stay tuned!  As for now, love from the pup and me!

XOXO,
