Digital Teacher Binder | Planner (TEKS Drop Down Menu) Kindergarten – 5th Grade

Description

This unique Google Sheets teacher binder & planner will save you so much time! Everything you need is all in one place. You get FREE updates every June. I have designed this so a self-contained teacher, or a teacher that teaches up to 3 different blocks can use this. It is fully editable.

I have included lesson plans with TX TEKS dropdown menus for grades Kindergarten through 5th grade. *THE SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES TEKS HAVE BEEN UPDATED FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR. This means you will never have to buy another planner as long as you are teaching elementary in Texas.

Included in This Product:

• Cover: There are 5 different covers to choose from.  Delete the tabs of the covers you are not going to use.  You can always insert an image of your choosing by going to “insert”, “image”, “insert image in cell”.

 

• Table of Contents: Everything is linked to the Table of Contents for easy access.

 

• Calendars: 12 month view and monthly calendars are all “dynamic”.  All calendars automatically update when you change the month & year of one calendar.  To add events to the calendars, be sure to add them to the “Events List” tab, otherwise you will delete the formulas in the calendar cells.  Each monthly calendar has room for notes, a sneak peek at the next month, a to-do list, and you can link weekly lesson plans to the calendar.  Just highlight the week, hold ctrl k, and choose the lesson plan tab you want to link.

 

• Lesson Plans Template:  I included a lesson plan template for all grades Kindergarten through 5th. Choose the appropriate grade. Edit the lesson plans to suit your needs.  You can delete the rows of the subjects that you do not teach.  If you wish, you can change the colors by selecting the cells and choosing the “fill color” paint can.  Right click on the tab and choose “duplicate”.  Then right click on the copy you just made and rename for the current week’s plans.  You can link the plans into the monthly calendars.  You can delete grade levels you do not need, but do not delete the “DOK ?’s” tab.  Whichever grade level you keep, you must also keep the TEKS tab for that grade level.

 

• Class Lists:  Type student names on this tab.  There is a class list for up to 3 different blocks. They will automatically fill in student names on the parent information, student passwords, seating charts, student data, all gradebooks, student health information, accommodations, and parent contact logs.

 

• Parent Information: Type in parent information for each student in each block.  All parent information will be automatically filled in on the parent contact logs. Delete any rows and columns you do not need.

• Birthdays:  Add the day and student name.  You can also add birthdays to the “Event List” and have them appear in your calendar if you prefer.

(Benchmark Tests, CBA’s, Aims Web, Mock STAAR, etc.)  Fill in the title to each column.  Add student scores.  Grades below 70 will appear red.  You can delete any columns that include the subjects you do not teach.

 

• Gradebook: I included attendance, and enough templates for 5 subjects and 3 different blocks.  You can delete any rows and columns you do not need.  Grades will average automatically.  Grades below 70 will appear in red. Attendance has dropdowns to choose Absent, Tardy, or Present.  Dropdowns can be edited by clicking on the down arrow, then the pencil.

All student and parent information will automatically be filled in when you add names to the class list, and complete the parent information tab.  Double click a cell under the date column to choose a date from the “date picker” calendar. All you need to do is type notes for your parent contacts.  To jump to an individual student’s contact card, click on the number to the left of their name.  Each time you contact a parent, just add the date and notes from your conversation.

Just open a google doc, name the document, and type your meeting notes.  (You must close the document before adding it to the spreadsheet) On the spreadsheet, add the date.  In the meeting column, hold shift & the number 2 to insert the @ symbol.  To search, type in the name of the document you want to insert (Do not put a space after the @ symbol).  Then click on the document you would like to insert.
