Win, Loss and a Thing of Cost - Back to School Edition

Oh my goodness!!
The kids are coming today!
To celebrate, I'm sharing a
Win
Loss
and a Thing of Cost.
WIN:
We actually had a great speaker at our
Institute Day.
When does that ever happen?
His message was just a great reminder
of how important it is to build
relationships with our kids.
 
When they go home on the first day of school
and their parents ask them, "How was your first day?"
The answer we do NOT want them to give is...
fine.
 
I'm hoping to make the day GREAT!
 
LOSS:
A part of me wishes I had a few more days to get ready.
This is the start of my 14th year,
so I know I'll be fine.
 
THING OF COST:
 
I'm trying a 30 day trial of this online lesson planner.
The cost comes after the trial,
but it's only $12 for a year.
 
So far I love it.
I can quickly type in my plans.
I can access them at home and at school.
Each subject is color coded.
It's been pretty easy to use.
I'll let you know in a few weeks how I feel about it.
 
Does anyone use an electronic plan book?
 
Come and join Matt at Digital: Divide and Conquer
and my self for A Win, Loss and a Thing of Cost.

  1. I have used planbook.com for the past two years. I will use it again this year. I thought it was very handy and didn't cost very much either. I think you will want to purchase after your trial! :)

  2. Hello Jeanette! Good luck on your first day of school. Amazingly, I have never even heard of an electronic plan book. do you print out the pages if there is a sub.? I'm looking forward to hearing about your day!

  3. I LOVE planbook.com. It's the best $12 I have ever spent. I absolutely love that you can bump lessons to the next day when you don't cover something. You can print out your lessons or share them with others. I will paying the $12 again this year.
