There are 3 things I'm certain of.
1. We have all seen this post/image in blog/pinterest land.

2. We all added this idea to our to-do lists.
3. We were all in tears when we realized there was no template available for this idea.
There was one 1 thing I was uncertain of.
1. Can I make a template for this myself?
Well, I am now certain that I can do it. Because I did. I made my own lesson plan book. Do I love it? ABSOLUTELY! I feel like it's my baby. No more writing in everything, EVERY. WEEK. and drawing those lines EVERY. WEEK. Here's how it turned out.

| All ready to be filled in! |
First I created a template for my lesson plans on word & was sure to change my settings to legal size paper.
After some time of aligning, tweaking, and typing, it was time to print.
I had to babysit my printer through this process--maybe you won't have to. I then fed the paper back through the printer so that I could get double sided pages.
Next, I had to create my front cover & back cover. Legal size too!!
I purchased some legal size laminating pouches to use with my home laminator for my front and back cover.

| All pieces ready to go to Staples! |
Final step--drive 2.3 miles to your local Staples, Office Max, or Office Depot with all of your pages carefully placed on your lap & get your book binded for around $5 if you wait, or around $2 if you come back later!
I am seriously so in love with this thing! It turned out so much better than expected and will be such a time saver to not have to write in all the schedule info and lines every week.
NOW for the best news--you can buy a template for yourself! It's a word document so you can edit it, but I suggest googling and downloading the font "PlainPrint" so that the font does not show up funny!
When you purchase this template, you will also receive 3 editable cover options to choose from. Just edit and print your favorite one! Here are the options included:
Google and download the font "Champagne & Limousines" for the font used in the title pages. These too are editable to your preference, I just included my information to inspire you!
Here is a close up of the schedule template and the page I made to go right after my cover page.
