bloom daily planners Undated Academic Year Teacher Planner & Calendar - 7 Period Lesson Plan Organizer Book with Frosted Cover (9" x 11") (Interchangeable Cover)

My struggles with regular planners:1) I struggle with planners - they either have tiny spaces to write, so I end up making a mess of them and my perfectionist trait hates it and I stop using it (not the case with this one)2) They don't have monthly and weekly pages so I end up missing items, or over booking.3) They always get trashed with use and they end up looking so messy I need a new one before I have finished the year!4) I forget them5) I need a notebook tooWhy is this plannner perfect?1) The monthly pages are the perfect size to write multiple items in for each day, plus there is a note section on the side to support those stupidly busy days! Then these planners have full pages for each day, of each week. I don't use them like a typical planner in that I correspond everything to the day, but I use them as notes for all my meetings so I am NEVER without my information - which means I dont need multiple notebooks and planners and diaries, I have it all with me in one neat book2) I check my monthly page every day, multiple times a day and it allows me to keep on top of all my meetings, and all the pages following and prior help me keep the notes I need to be prepared for those meetings.3) This book gets used! It goes everywhere with me and the hard cover keeps the front and back protected so it never looks trashed. The inside will be a mess but I look clean, organized and like I maintain my planner when it fact I throw it around in the car, backpacks, tables etc.Even the tabs are laminated and reinforced!4) The size of this (they do offer smaller if it's better for you) means I don't go blind to it! It's in my backpack and I see it and know to take it out, when I get home I make sure I check it, and it sits by my coffee machine and I check it before bed (so I set the right alarm) and it's the first thing I see in the morning so it goes with me. All the notes fit in it, so it becomes like an extra limb - you can't be blind to an extra limb!5) the reinforced covers make this a perfect notebook as well - I can write anywhere!Additional Pros1) It's not dated, typically as a teacher I need a planner that is set out academically, however, those months before school starts is when I typically start to get busy, so having one that starts in August isn't feasible. I then also started grad school and needed one that would allow me to start in April as I prepped. Having an undated planner meant I could start it when ever I needed to.2) All the extra pages are a godsend3) there is a place to hold extra paper in the front and back of the planner, so loose-leaf papers I accumulate don't get scrunched in the bottom of my bag!Guys, seriously, I struggle with planners, digital ones get forgotten, paper ones fall into disuse, messy ones drive me insane even though it means they are being used. This one just works.It just works - what a relief!

Truly one of the best teacher planners I’ve bought. I’m about to start my 6th year as a teacher, and I’m pretty sure this is my favorite planner. It’s super durable, has lots of space for everything I want/need, and I appreciate the monthly tab labels. A lot of planners don’t have enough space for each class I teach every day, and this one fits what I need. I also love the design, especially the fact that it shows the entire month and then the following pages go week-by-week. I’m seriously considering buying another couple immediately to make sure I can find this again for future years — more pretty and fun designs would be great! Maybe something that focuses on individual disciplines (English, math, science, history, music, art, etc?)

This is my 4th year using this planner in my classroom. Each year, I buy one for myself and one for my teacher's assistants. It has plenty of room to keep a grade book or attendance roster, pages for lesson planning daily, weekly, and. monthly. It also has extra pages for notes and anything else you need. Excellent planner.

Things I love: the days of the week are vertical like a calendar, it's color coded, there's room to write notes off to the side, there is a calendar for the month right before each planning section, there are tabs for the months so it's easy to find what you taught earlier in the year, there are plastic covers on the back and front. I used it all year and it did not fall apart. I plan to order another one for the next school year.

This planner is nearly exactly what I was looking for. I’ve been purchasing a more expensive, name-brand planner for several years, but opted to try something new. The colors and quality of this planner are amazing. I like the fact that it has the thick plastic protective “covers” on both the back and front—this should prevent too much damage, as I don’t really travel with the planner, it just stays on my desk at school. 🤞 There is plenty of room for writing daily plans, and the ability to section out 7 different classes/periods per day is perfect as I teach high school. Also, thank goodness for the vertical layout! I can’t stand horizontal layouts that make it necessary to have the book fully open each day. Vertical—just keep whichever half open. Thank you!I love color, but I can’t stand it when planners get too busy—then I’m so distracted that I can’t focus on the important stuff. Maybe it’s just me, but this book is pretty, while not taking it over the top. Additionally, the monthly spreads have large boxes to accomodate whatever I need to fit into them. WOOT WOOT!! I like having that overview of upcoming weeks. Another win!Upon opening and setting up the planner, I was a little disappointed by the weight of the pages, which are much thinner than the previous planner I used. However, after writing inside of it, the pages are plenty thick enough where the ink does not bleed through to the back of the page. Another pleasant surprise!This far, all good things, right? So why did I rate it 4 stars? Ok, here are my few cons. Now, these might seem petty for some of you, but they still bugged me enough to dock it a star.1. I wish there was an option to add more gradebook pages. I teach five different classes per day, with two non-teaching periods on a 7-day rotating schedule. Eight grade book pages are not enough for 5 classes, four quarters apiece. So, there’s that. Although, we use digital grade books, so maybe I’ll just use these pages to satisfy my dissatisfaction in number 2. ⬇️2. I wish there were some additional notes pages added, for storing passwords, jotting down notes from meetings and/or lessons, making lists or brainstorming ideas. I can add post-its for a lot of this, but having dedicated pages would be a bonus.3. This is the one that really gets me. The gradebook pages and extra communication pages, etc are in the front of the book. Personally, I feel like it would make more sense to have them in the back.Maybe it’s just me, but there ya go. The rationale for the 4-star review. Overall, it is a wonderful planner at a reasonable price. Gets a deal of approval from me!**Don't judge my mistakes—I left them to prove a point. The last pic is the back side of the page with scribbles—which do not bleed through. Yay!
