make a list and check it twice

Ho!Ho!Ho! Allright teacher friends!!!!  No, it is not December.  But you know what...the holiday season is right around the corner!?!  What?! My favorite time of the year.  And it all starts with Halloween{which is in 1 week my friends-woa!}.  And in 2 months--Christmas! Ah--the most wonderful time of the year {cue music}...eek! Ok, so it is October and you're busy.  September was cRaZy.  And well, let's just say...is it too early to countdown til Christmas/Holiday Break (remember I taught for 12 years:)? haha!





BUUUUT before that, a few things happen:
Thanksgiving
Holiday Parties
School-wide Projects
Staff After-School Party
Hubby's work party
Kid's holiday play....holy moly...you know...just a few things:) But this is the most wonderful time of the year-right? YES!  Like I said-my favorite.  (you know how I love the holidays and celebrations!) Sooo, I get to share something to help you enjoy the crazy wonderfulness of the season.  First of all, grab your mochas and pop in a little Harry.... this year, I get to share my lists with YOU.  These are in my TpT Store (digital download only).

Introducing.....

These planners are very specific to a teacher {YOU} and {YOUR NEEDS}.  But these planners aren't just for school...I've included so much to help you stay organized at home as well. Whew!

Take a peak at these images.  Be sure to scroll down for all the details and the FREEBIE!

And the details:

Each planner includes organizational charts to keep track of:
*themes
*classroom parties (or hand to a parent volunteer)
*school events
*family events
*gifts received from students
*gift lists for your students, teacher friends, and family
*Black Friday and Cyber Monday Shopping
*budget
*checklists
*monthly calendars for October, November, December, and January

AND MORE!  (I'm not saying anything more :) but 47 pages!

So basically, for the cost of a fancy coffee, you can be organized for the holiday season.  At school and at home!

When I put mine together, I added a pencil pouch and bought some super cool pockets that are resealable (with tabs) for coupons and receipts ($5-Office Max) and had it coil bound ($3-Office Max).  I am so excited to use mine!  I love this sort of stuff (as I'm sure you know from my Teacher Planners).

And for a little FREEBIE to celebrate my favorite time of the year....here is a simple tracking chart of classroom purchases you make for 2012 and 2013.  You can check out all 4 designs.  I like knowing where my money is going (out the door) but I also like to see WHICH area or subject (clipart, picture books, etc.) I spend my money.

I will be uploading the damask and cute owl holiday planners today, October 24, 2012 and the sweet bird and fun polka dots tomorrow, October 25, 2012.  Thanks again for all your support.  I truly hope you enjoy this time of the year.  Merry {Early} Christmas!

And I'm linking up with Maniac Monday!  Check out all the freebies!
