This class will include student planner pages that should be printed out prior to class. The focus of the class will be using a custom planner to keep track of student life. This includes class schedules, assignments, events, tests, goals, and more. We will discuss why it is important to be organized for the school year, and how to get organized. I will show the students how to use the planner pages I created just for this class, and how to edit them in Google Docs. After class, students will receive access to customizable planner pages to meet their needs and likes. This class is a onetime class or a prerequisite for my The Organized Student: Planner's Club ongoing class.
Learning Goals
Students will gain valuable hints and tip to get organized, and stay organized for the school year. Students will receive custom planner pages, and gain the skills to edit their custom pages.
Other Details
Supply List
This class will include generic and personalized student planner pages to be downloaded from Google Drive and printed. They will be offered in both color and B&W versions. It will be discussed and recommended, during the class, that students obtain some way to keep their planner pages (binder, folder, etc). They will not need this prior to taking the class. For the class, students will need to print out one of the sample planner pages that will be found in the classroom and writing utensils. I recommend colored pens, pencils, or fine tip markers.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from WGU
Hello, my name is Shanin Hamilton. I am a mom of 3 kids 29, 27, and 18. I have lived on a small, hobby farm most of my life, since 1980, and we have had almost all of the different farm animals at some point. I homeschooled my oldest two kids from primary school thru high school graduation, greatest experience ever! I was a Girl Scout Leader for almost 20 years and have led hundreds of girls and other Leaders. I am also a trained K-8 teacher and have worked with students from 2 years old to 18 years old in both regular education and special education.
I have a Bachelor of Art in K-8 Interdisciplinary Studies. I have worked with students, ages 2 - 18, in multiple different settings including public schools, private daycares, Girl Scouts, and homeschooling my own children from primary school through high school graduation. I have worked as a Teachers' Aid in a 6-8th grade building in all core classes including 6-8th grade math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geography, Civics, Life Science, and ELA. As a Teacher's Aid, my job was to pull small groups of students and reteach the concepts that were taught by the teacher, but in a easier to understand way for the students that struggled with the concepts. I also worked closely with the teachers to develop class curriculum for both the whole class and for struggling learners. I have over 10 years of experience working with children with both special learning and behavioral needs in a public classroom setting.
My style of teaching is being flexible and fun. That means I let the students’ enthusiasm in the subject drive the lessons, because I believe that kids learn best when they enjoy the topic and can be engaged. I use lots of pictures, slides, games, and student driven discussions.
The classes that I offer are the core math, science, and language arts as well as some creative writing, online tools and organization classes.
I hope to see you, or your child, in my classroom soon! Have a marvelous day.Reviews
