I started putting this planner together by figuring out what size I wanted my planner and how I was going to keep it all together. I tend to like my planners on the small size because they are easy to handle and I can easily throw them in my bag. So I went with a small 3 ring binder that I had gotten at Staples.


Next I had to figure out what pages I liked most and which ones I would get the most use out of. When I went through all the available pages, I printed off my favorites using the landscape mode. These pages are portrait, so when printed landscape, they print smaller and fit perfectly into the binder (once I trim the edges). Here they all are ready to be organized and hole punched. 


I had to adjust my hole punch before I began so they would fit the binder. 
Once I finished with that I began to assemble.




 Just in case you didn't know... :)


(Sorry, I had to add a shameless plug in there about the ONE DAY BOOST sale!)

Ok, let's move on. I won't bore you with all the photos (trust me, there are a ton!) I will share with you how I organized my binder.

Meet the Teacher Blogger (Linky Party)

Stephanie from Falling into First is hosting a Meet the Teacher Blogger linky party! What a fun way to read about your favorite teacher bloggers and share a little about yourself!

Ok, so here's a little about me...

My name is Suzanne. I'm a 28 year old daughter, sister, fur baby mom, teacher, graduate student, crafter, blogger, TPT seller... not all in that order ;)

This will be my 5th year teaching. I have been in the same district as a K-2 (mild-moderate) Intervention Specialist. I work with students who melt my heart, drive me crazy, and love unconditionally. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. 

I adore my fur babies. 

Gus, 8 years
(Mr. Spoiled Rotten)
 


MochaJo, 1.5 years
(my sweet baby girl)
 

Baloo, 7 months
(adolescence for this young man is not out friend, but I still love the goof)
 

A few things I have enjoyed this summer...

Reading for Pleasure (while dog sitting)

DIYing




 THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...

Starbucks (or just coffee in general!), Target, creating and DIYing, music (pop, country, classical, jazz), HomeGoods, Chai Tea, Food Network and HGTV, farm fresh food (especially sweet corn and cantaloupe), and all things Chevron. 


 IF YOU WEREN'T A TEACHER, WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?

I thoroughly enjoy anything to do with art. I'd love to dabble in photography, graphic design, or anything where I can be hands on making crafts. :) 

THREE LITTLE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE YOU.

Reserved, Loyal, Loving

FINISH THE SENTENCE, "________,  SAID NO TEACHER EVER!!"

"I LOVE working for 2 weeks in August, WITHOUT PAY, to prepare my room and materials ...said no teacher EVER!!"

Q: IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU CAN INVITE ANYONE {DEAD OR ALIVE} TO THE PARTY. WHO ARE YOU INVITING?

Frank Sinatra and Adele for entertainment
and of course I'd have to hang out with Jennifer Lawrence !!

Q: IF SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD BE THE TITLE?

Why would anyone want to do that?! haha! um....
"Stop! Don't Open this book.. It's a snooze fest!"

 Q:YOU GET TO PICK ONE SUPERPOWER. WHAT IS IT?

 Maybe telekinesis.. think it'd help me get more done? 

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE OR SAYING?

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” 
― Mahatma Gandhi

Q: IF YOU HAD TO SING ONE SONG ON AMERICAN IDOL, WHAT WOULD IT BE? 

ahaha! no one wants to hear me sing. 

 Q: ARE YOU A MORNING PERSON OR A NIGHT OWL?

Can I be both? I used to be a morning person in High School, turned into a night owl in college, and now I'm just stuck in between.

Q: WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE RESOURCE THAT YOU'VE CREATED IN YOUR TPT SHOP?

Ooo, that's a tough one. I'd have to say my First Grade Sight Word Activity Packs. I am still in progress of completing the entire 24 weeks. However, I have week 1 up. It has taken over a year and many many many revisions, but it's coming together nicely. 

  


Q: SHARE SOMETHING WE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU! 

I originally wanted to be an Art Teacher. I decided to change majors to General Education (PreK-3) and Special Education (K-12) after speaking with an adviser and several teachers in my own family. I love what I do, but my creativity side always wonders "what-if".
