One row for each part of the day

Press Print the lesson plan and write the date at the top. Fill a row for each subject in the order you teach it. A day with fewer blocks fits the 6 row sheet; a fuller one fits 8 rows.

By period, or with the rows named

Two sheets number the rows for a teacher who sees a new class each period: 7 periods or 4 blocks, with Class, Objective, Lesson and Homework columns. The elementary sheet arrives with six rows named, from Morning meeting to Specials.

  • The half-day sheet has 4 tall rows, for an early release or a morning-only class.
  • One sheet adds three small-group lines under a table of 5 rows.
