Just inherited a telescope, where do I point it?

Hi all, first post on these forums.

Been interested in astronomy for a while but never had the goods. Now I have obtained an Amasco 114m reflector telescope. Nothing special but I just need something to get started.

I know where the moon is so I can find that pretty easy, but how do I identify planets and other items of celestial interest?

The telescope didn't come with any educational material.

Thanks,
