At A Glance Calendar

My July . . .just slipped by

On a gray November day it’s fun to look back at my July calendar, with virtually each date noted with a special event or fun occasion.

August just isn’t quite the same – with July it’s summer behind and summer ahead. I love it.

Best part is, of course, that summer is a state of mind: thoughts of duties, obligations, meetings, commitments are on hold.

The minute the calendar turns, however, those sterner thoughts begin to creep back. Plus a glance toward the end of the month sees the time for students to head back to classrooms, and college-bound youth – so wonderful having them home in the summer – take off for various campuses.

August, of course, isn’t a total downer – no month deserves that description.

Attractive highlights include a delightful tea on the Emory Grove Hotel porch and, later in the month, in the Hotel dining room, a mouth-watering chicken dinner.

Also, live theater comes this month with performances of the popular and favorite Rodger and Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma!” at Sacred Heart.

August, also, is sure to offer several fun day trips.

And there’s always The Glyndon Pool, a perennial joy of summer.

July, actually is a month, of so many unique joys.

First and foremost are the Fourth of July and the Glyndon Parade, a day of fun from start to finish. An encyclopedia opened to the Declaration of Independence is at the center of our decorations.

High on the list of “specials” was July’s fantastic firefly show. It was an unforgettable glittering display, breath-taking actually.

A “crafty” fun occasion was our painting of shells. Are yours still in the sand bucket from the beach? Use pastel acrylic paints, a little glitter and they are transformed. Pile them in a glass bowl – beautiful.

Peach cake, a long-ago favorite is high on my list. Baltimore peach cake is a concoction that few bakeries achieve. Am I fortunate to have a grandson who went out of his way on Harford Road to visit Fenwick’s Bakery to treat me to two peach cakes, which I’m forcing myself share?

Peach cake and iced coffee on a blue sky morning on an airy porch!

Idyllic.

My short list includes only the highlights, which throughout July has been a month of blue sky and sunshine, “Oh, What Beautiful Mornings.”

Have you heard me singing?

Lesson Plan Book

It’s August which means time to get serious about planning for the coming school year. Thusfar in the summer I’ve done lots of thinking and reading about the next school year, but the year doesn’t feel like it’s taking shape until I’ve got my lesson planner and I start filling it in.

I received my planner from Amazon about a week ago, and now I’m busily filling it in.

Over the years I’ve used a couple different types of planners. Usually I have a weekly lesson plan book as well as a regular calendar. And though I’m pretty good at the computer and my phone and I sometimes use the calendar features on them, I really like the feeling of a solid paper calendar. Here are my favorites.

The At a Glance Teacher’s Planner is definitely my favorite planner. It is set up vertically (the days of the week are listed across the top of the columns) which somehow feels more intuitive to me and it has plenty of record keeping pages in the back, as well as a couple of seating charts. It’s thin but has a substantial, sturdy cover. It definitely makes it through the school year with minimal damage. This year I bought the undated version (I didn’t find a dated one anywhere) which works pretty well, as it allows me to just leave out weeks for school breaks.

The other planner I have used is this one created by Stephanie Embrey. I like the arrangement of this book. It is similar to the At a Glance planner except that it is set up horizontally (with the names of the days of the week down along the left side of the page.) This was a change for me after using the At a Glance calendar, but I adjusted to it quickly enough. It also has lots of great features. There are plenty of record keeping pages, a couple of seating charts, a couple of maps, a chart for figuring percentages quickly, and a place for logging parent communication. It also has folder flaps on the insides of the front and back covers for holding loose papers, which was really useful until the glue started to come loose at the end of the school year. This is a much thicker, more substantial planner, but it has so many features it might be worth carrying around the extra bulk.

My main complaint about this planner is that it is definitely not as durable as the At a Glance planner. As I mentioned, the folder flaps came loose at the end of the year, the cover edges became frayed and I sometimes worried that papers that I had stuck within its covers would not be protected and might fall out. It just doesn’t seem strong enough to keep all of that extra bulk in tact. Still, it serviced me well over the course of the year. If you appreciate extra features and don’t abuse your plan book too much this is probably the best book for you.
