Fountain Pen Friendly Teacher Plan Books


MZielinski

Recommended Posts

Calling all teachers -- does anyone have any lesson plan books that they find to be fountain pen-friendly? I'm (obviously) old fashioned and I like writing my lesson plans in a book. Usually I use my Pilot Custom 823 in a Fine nib. But even with that thin of a nib, there was a lot of bleeding and bleed-through with the book that I used. So, I'm definitely in the market for a plan book that uses better quality paper and was hoping for some suggestions. Thanks!

BLACK & RED has some inexpensive books that are FP friendly. Also, Moleskine "SKETCH" is FP friendly. This probably doesn't offer you much help.😀😀

Our administration required plans to be available a week in advance and then thought nothing of changing schedules on short notice (We will have a pep rally tomorrow during sixth period, for example) so I always did mine in pencil. Giant pencils with really big erasers.

But, to answer your question. The site below has downloadable templates for lesson books. There are others. Just Google Teacher Lesson Planning Book Downloads and check what pops up after the ads. Then you can use your own paper. Only the best is good enough for a Pilot Custom.

I am a teacher and I grade with my fp's,but I plan with a pencil.

 

if you use a pencil does it mean you often have to re-order your plan? That 's what I find most difficult with a written planner. But I still use my FP for my planner, I don't mind crossing and re-writing when necessary.

I make and print my own planning sheets. I keep them in a file folder. I don't use planner books.

I've recently discovered BlueSky products. BlueSky makes notebooks, planners, and those deskpad calendars like the ones you find in big box office supply stores, the kind with two holes in the top border so you can hang it on the wall. Walmart, Target, and Staples sell BlueSky products. Every notebook I've bought and even the deskpad calendar I bought is FP-friendly. I can't vouch specifically for the Teacher's Plan Book: I haven't used it and I haven't inspected it to verify that the paper is the same. But I've seen it at all three stores. Check it out.

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.

Clairefontaine makes a teacher's planning book, called "agenda de bord" with 90 g paper.

 

Amazon France sells it in 4 and 6 column versions, but I'm not sure if you can get it from a supplier in the United States.

yes, they are nib-friendly. But now I'd rather buy a notebook and draw the lines I need :)

One pen roll, two pen rolls, three pen rolls ... So many pen rolls ! Do you want one ?

my tiny shop is open and you can have a closer look on my website to see my cotton (and sometimes silk) OOAK penrolls.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
