Hi Traci--
I am very interested in this planner for my high school classroom. I will be teaching 3 preps one semester and 4 another, so the personalization is great. However, is it practical to print out a years worth of weeks to hand fill-in? There is something about actual paper and pencil planning that I can't move away from!

Hi :)
Yes you could print 36 (or however many you need) and write in your info after setting up a master copy the way you want. I have a couple friends that do it that way.

I just emailed you. Also, I have renamed the instructions file in the download so that all systems should now recognize it. The common core workbook is just one file. It contains a tabbed worksheet for each grade level/subject k-12. Thanks!

I will be teaching GA Lottery Pre-K next year. Pre-K does not use Common Core standards, but uses GELDS. Is there a way for me to input the GELDS standards into the document so that I can drag and drop them the same as the common core?
June 2, 2013
Traci Clausen (TpT Seller)
You could add GELDS. However you would need to type them up in an Excel worksheet that you would then drop into your weekly plan Excel workbook each year. You do not have to use the common core standards that come with it.

No. They are Excel programs. Although Numbers can open some Excel files, there is just too much in these for Numbers and it doesn't convert. However, the planners are compatible will all versions of Excel for both Windows and Mac.

I was wondering if there was a way to to change the column widths. I don't need a large space for lunch so I want to make that column smaller and my reading block bigger.
April 9, 2013
Traci Clausen (TpT Seller)
Absolutely. Be sure you have your Exel set to show column and row headers (Excel/preferences/view/show column and row headers). This will make adjusting column widths easier. You can change them to any size you wish. Please email me if you have questions :)

Hi there. Be sure you have your Excel Preferences set to show column and row headings. That makes adding and deleting columns and rows much easier. For merging, just highlight the cells you want to merge and click "merge" in the menu bar/ribbon. If you need additional help, please feel free to email me dragonfliesinfirst (at) gmail (dot) com.

Hi Traci! Your weekly planner is absolutely beautiful! Is there any chance you have a version of this with the days of the week across the top and learning blocks blocks going vertically instead of horizontally? Also, is it possible to remove the holidays entirely? I teach overseas and we celebrate minimal US holidays. Cheers!

Hi Alyssa,
Please email me and I will see if I have something that works for you. The weekly planner is not dated in anyway so no holidays are set in it:) dragonfliesinfirst(at)gmail(dot)com

Hi, Traci, I am a single ESL teacher at a K-8 school plus I do reading intervention, so I have to keep track of at least 9 different sets of curriculum frameworks for each subject that I am pulling out of as well as the matching lesson plans. To make matters worse, many of the classes start at odd times such as 11:20am. Can your planner help with scheduling classes that occur at different times each day, often for different lengths of time? It would be great if I could keep all the plans together on just a few different sheets instead of the 12 notebooks that I currently have. (I am also considering your yearly planner.)

Hi, Traci, I'm having more trouble using this than planned, and I am proficient with excel. I have to keep selecting cells to wrap text, as the cells are not big enough for my needs and often need to be merged. I would prefer to continue with my current planner. Please advise the protocol to request a refund. Your work is great, just simply doesn't fit my needs at this time. Thank you!

Traci, I purchased this planner as it is the closest thing to usable I've found. However, I would like a larger format. Say: A two page format with 8 squares on each day, with the first square being the size it currently is and with the planning columns in the front as you have them now. I'd like to be able to put in a binder and have a two page spread to look at. Easier to write in and to see! Would you be able to help me with that? Thanks! Deb S.

I am looking for something to get my lesson plans done and organized so I am not spending every weekend starting over by hand...ugh! I am also looking for a full year scope and sequence plan as well. Your creations look like they have the most potential that I have seen, but I downloaded your previews but can't for the life of me see anything because it's so small. Is there any way you can send me of your filled in one from you weekly and one from you school year. Type a big watermark over it or something...but I want to see what you have actually done to be able to buy it.

It is coming up ugly old Arial. I skimmed through your blog & directions, but I'm not finding that info (could be me). Thanks.
PS...would you be willing to help "dress up" or customize what I already use?

I sent you an e-mail about adjusting the size. I would love it to be bigger and I lost lines after merging cells. I am undecided how I feel about this product. I am finding I am spending too much time trying to set it up.
September 24, 2012
Traci Clausen (TpT Seller)
I received your email. You can customize this planner to suit your needs. I'm not sure what you mean about losing lines, but you can add borders to any Excel cell. Although it is set to print on one page as a default, you can change it to print to 2-pages with a portrait orientation (you will need wider columns so that it fits those 2 pages nicely). I am more than happy to help you make any adjustments. :D

Hi,
When you refer to Excel needing to be "updated," are you meaning that the program will not work correctly with the 08 version of Excel? I purchased this product and love it so far, but when I go to add columns or do any sort of personalizing like that, the program quits unexpectedly. This is frustrating for me because I can't wait to utilize the template. I have closed out all programs, restarted my computer, and there aren't any software updates needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
The program works with all versions of Excel, but you do need to run all updates for your particular versions. Check to be sure you have the latest update for Excel 08 installed. I can't answer as to why it would be quitting on you. If you want to send it to me, I can take a look at it and make any adjustments you need made. Be sure you have the latest version of the planner - that has no protection on it (there should not be any locks on the bottom tabs) as the one that was protected had some compatibility issues - especially with Excel 08. Please email me if you continue to have problems so I can help you out.

Hi there,
It seems there is a problem with your .zip program. I'm not sure why your unzipping program would be trying to encrypt the file. If you continue to have problems, email me at dragonfliesinfirst@gmail.com and I will try and email you a copy of the file that isn't zipped. The file is large so your email address will need to be able to accept large files.

Is there a way to make this work over 2 pages? I merged some boxes and wrapped and shrunk my text, but now it is too hard for me to read! Just wondering if there was a way to do this? Also how can I add columns? Thank you!

Yes, you can change the page set up so that it prints 2 pages wide, and 1 page high. You will need to adjust the column widths so that it fits well. In order to insert columns, it is easiest if you make sure your Excel is set to show row and column headings: Excel/Preferences/View/Show Row and Column Headings. Click where you want to insert a column, then click INSERT column. If you'd like help with either of these things, feel free to email me. :D

Hi Spring,
It is exactly the same as changing it in Word. Highlight, change size. However, there were some compatibility issues with older versions of Word and the original protected version of the planner than would not allow some users to change the font. The newest version of the planner is not protected and therefore does not have those compatibility issues. If your planner has little padlocks on the tabs - you have the old version. Delete that one and redownload the newest version from TpT. Please feel free to email me if you have any other questions.

This did not show up as a purchase on my account to you and teachers pay teachers the first time I bought it. However, I do have it shown and charged on my paypal account. Just wanted someone to know the clinch, because I had downloaded it on my USB that dissapeared. Since I had shown the planner to my 2 colleages and we were going to use your plan, I had to purchase a second time. It did show up this time on my purchases.

Did you purchase it from Teacher's Notebook the first time by any chance? If you were double-charged by TpT, you should let them know.

I order this a couple of weeks ago, saved on a USB device to take to school. My cute little pink USB by the computer disappeared the first day of school. I would like to download again without having to buy again. How do I do this. Dianne Guffey Visa

Please help! I can only open the first page. I see where you said to go to excel preferences to show tabs, and it is already checked! UGH! Please help or refund my purchase, I don't have time for this! :(

It sounds like your Excel program may have the window maximized too much. If you are on a Mac, the tabs may be behind your doc. If that's the case you need to adjust Excel so you can see workbooks correctly. Try clicking Window/Arrange and something other than what it is currently set at - like Horizontal. This isn't a problem with the planner, but the way you have your Excel set up to view. It can be adjusted. :D Please feel free to email me if you have further questions - dragonfliesinfirst@gmail.com

I was wondering if you can insert pictures in the plans. I like to put the book cover or picture of the art project we are making in my plan box. I currently do all my plans in Word. Your plan format looks great- so curious to try it out but love having that picture to remind me of what is coming next and materials to prep. I've used Excel but Word is what I know best. Any help would be great.

You can insert pictures. I would suggest changing the planner to print 2 pages if you do, though. It is set to print on one page, the pictures may take up so much room, you won't have much space to write your plans and standards. Feel free to send me an email with any questions. dragonfliesinfirst@gmail.com

Hi! I recently downloaded your weekly planner and love it. However, I would like to resize and add some cells for specials. Do you have instructions for adjusting cells?
Thank you !

You can adjust row height and cell width just be sure you have your Excel set to show you the row and column headers: Excel/Preferences/View/Show Row and Column Headers. Then just slide things around as you see fit. You can use "Insert" to add columns, however, it is often easier and more space saving to put specials into one of your other blocks - especially if you aren't teaching them. See the examples included with the planner for ideas. Email me if you need help or have more questions. :D

I am not an excel user and do not understand how to duplicate the planner page so that I can have a saved page for each week of the year in one file. Can you help me to understand how to make that work?

Have you read the instructions included with the planner? It provides step-by-step instructions on how to set it up.

How do I adjust the column sizes?
August 25, 2012
Traci Clausen (TpT Seller)
You probably need to tell Excel to show you the row and column headings so you can see the "handles". Click Excel/Preferences/View/Show Row and Column Headings. :D

I need to be able to have core standards listed with each lesson that I'm using.. I also have a very large reading block ( im in a resource room) so I will need to be able to have losts of room to detail each reading group out.. Will that be possible?

Hi Heidi,
Check out my post here: http://www.dragonfliesinfirst.com/2012/07/staying-above-chaos.html
so you can see them a little more up close. If you click on the pictures of each sample, it will make them a tad larger. (I can also email you a couple samples if you'd like - just email me @ dragonfliesinfirst@gmail.com) I list my standards and objectives off to the left side. As far as the size of the blocks, you can resize them to fit your needs. Additionally, you can lower your font size to "fit more in". If you have difficulty with any of it, I'm happy to help you, too.

Hi! Is it possible to print a week's schedule using a two - page spread?
August 19, 2012
Traci Clausen (TpT Seller)
If you widen your columns, then in the print window scale it to print 2 pages wide by 1 page tall you could get it to print on 2 pages horizontally. If you make your rows larger, and scale it to print 1 page wide, by 2 pages tall you could get it to print on 2 pages vertically. You will have to play with the size of the rows/columns to get it to be the way you'd want it. It is currently scaled to print on 1 page. If you'd like my help, just email me (: dragonfliesinfirst@gmail.com

Hi Traci! I just purchased and every time I try to enter a Header, it crashes Excel. Any idea why? Also, could you email me a sample of elementary lesson plans with wording in it? I'm not sure where to put what and need a starting point or ideas.

I have no idea why it is crashing. I would restart your computer if I were you. Did you run all the updates on Excel before starting? Email me so I have your email address and I'll be happy to send you some samples. If you'd like to email me your schedule along with letting me know which color planner you like the best, I can work a sample up based on your schedule, too. dragonfliesinfirst@gmail.com
