My Lesson Plan Book

For years I tried and tried to find a lesson plan book that worked for us, and while some had things I wanted, most contained things I had no need of (desk arrangement, substitute teacher info., etc.). So, after frustration and disappointment I decided to sit down at the computer and see what I could come up with on my own. The result was the best lesson plan pages I've ever used and ones that work perfectly for me.




I like to have plenty of room to write, so I made each week a two page spread. The subjects go down the far left side, the days of the week go across the top. At the top of the left-hand page I have a line to write what week it is (ex. Sept. 3-7) and another line to write which FIAR and Beyond FIAR books we are working on that week.





I have the kid's names typed in the boxes for subjects they do so all I have to do is write their particular assignments out from their name. As we finish each thing throughout the day I simply put checkmarks with a red pen beside them. That way I can see at a glance how much we've done and how much we have left to do.





On the far right-hand side I have lines to write down what we did that week. This is a way for me to record those little extras that we do, plus it's so neat to go back and read and remember all the things we've done.
