I expected it to be bigger. I was hoping for large blocks to write in--- like I did years ago (I recently returned to teaching after working in guidance for seven years) The entire book is not much larger than 8 1/2 by 11. I will make do and the price was pretty inexpensive, which is great, probably because most people do digital plans nowadays. I just wanted something that I could carry around the classroom with me just as little reminders as I move from one topic to the next.
