How to Use a Planner: Life Skills and Writing All in One!

I love being organized and my planner helps me to do that! I can't wait to share my enthusiasm for this important tool with your child! In this one time class, students will learn "how to" writing as well as how to use a planner to manage their time well. Studies show that students who learn to use a planner are more successful students than those who don't use a planner. Learning how to use a planner effectively is an important skill both in school and in life. As a classroom teacher, I witnessed time and time again that the students who were more organized were also more successful learners. Students will take simple notes using a graphic organizer in class. Students will then write a paragraph about what style of planner will work best for them as well as how they plan to use it. I will share how I use a planner as well as the following topics:

What is a planner?
What are the parts of a planner?
Why should I use a planner?
How do I use a planner?
What are the different types of planners?
How do I choose a planner that is right for me?
