Please Note: I was provided a free copy of The Weekly Homeschool Planner in exchange for sharing my honest opinion here on my blog.
I took a look at the planner and it looks great. I work better with things stored on my computer so this could be right up my ally. Very excited about this.

Twitted also.
I think the thing I like best is that these pages are editable!
i like the planner because i can edit it.. and i also love it that it is very detailed and has lots of pages i can fill in! it will give me a big picture of how are homeschooling is going!
i LIKED the weekly homeschool planner on FB
I took a look at the sample pages on the planner. What first jumped out at me was the exciting and logical layout, and the graphics! I am the type of person that won’t use anything unless it’s fun for me too. Secondly, what REALLY excites me is that even in just the sample pages alone, there was enough to cover things that I manage to miss in our homeschooling years, or tend to let slip, like taking attendance. Plus, it would be perfect for our weekly reports for my son’s teacher as well as a planner. It looks like it will help me notice what subjects could use more time and which ones we are doing good on…Can you tell I really liked it?! I could go on. I will deff be purchasing this.

I like that she’s done all the work for me and I have all the documents I need to plan my homeschool year and keep track of what I’m doing.

I like having all the different planner form in one place. With this package I would not have to spend loads of time looking for or designing forms to use…everything is done for you!
Thanks

I lliked it on Facebook
I love the planner. I find little time to use the computer during the day, so I love that I would be able to edit the forms to suit my family and then print them out to be able to write on them during the day. I love the idea of having a hard copy on the computer too :-)
i actually really loved the chore sheet to give myself & the kids a visual checklist for each day & earnings they might get.
I love Jolanthe’s planner! What gets me most excited about this years planner is that it can be made to fit our schedule. I can edit away what doesn’t work and stuff! Love it. She is so creative!
I just liked the planner site on FB.
Wow! This has it all! I love that everything is all there on the computer….ready at the click of a button and I can stay organized!

This is the first I’ve seen of this planner, and it looks great. There are a wide variety of pages, and I really appreciate that it is editable.
I liked the planner on Facebook.
I’ve been trying to win this planner on other sites too! I love it! What I like about it is that it includes things that I had not even thought about. This coming fall will be my first year of homeschooling and I sure could use something like this to keep me on track (and teach me a few things as well!).
I was looking at getting a planner… the one I had last year didn’t work. So I’ve been picky about which one I get for this coming year. It looks like this would be great. Others I buy I think they were created for public school but we have different needs and Jolanthe’s is just that. There is a simple page for our goals for our children in the different subjects, and one for what is needed by end of the year. I think having that goals sheet in our planner will help keep the year simple by focusing on what’s most important and by the end of the year we feel we got somewhere because we accomplished our goal!!!!
I love that I do no thane to write the same thing over and over, for each of my 4 children!

Finally a editable, savable, reusable planner… perfect! We will be looking to purchase (if not chosen) for our school planning week. Thank you for finding and promoting such a useful teacher tool!
I love that its all in one. No more having to have a seperate calendar for my meal planning. No more having to have a seperate chart for chores. I have been eyeing this planner and its on “the list” of things to hopefully buy when funds allow. Thanks for giving me the chance to win one!

I teach Japanese language at two universities, and our daughters are learning as well. I love the fact that I can put the days of the week in Japanese and those activities too! It’s a trilingual planner for us as we are a trilingual family. This is wonderful!
I’m excited about it being edit-able, with the custom chore charts and attendance page.
I love that I can edit this and use it year after year. I love the individual chore chart – I know my kids would like to have those. Overall great product!
I liked alot that you can edit yourself what you want to put on it. It would save a lot of writing time in preparation.
I liked it on fb.
This looks wonderful. I think my favorite things are that I can use it over and over, it is all on the computer and that the state guidelines will be in the front. Being a first-year homeschooler, that info in the front of my book will be very helpful!
I “Like”d it on FB
Oh my goodness! What’s NOT to like about this planner?!? :) I LOVE that it is editable the best. No more messy notes & trying to figure out what they say!!! :) Also there are pages for things I hadn’t even thought of putting in my planner! They will be nice to have since I’m always looking them up anyhow.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I really need organizational help. I try and try but just haven’t gotten it down yet. I like the editable aspect of this planner. I also like the workbox page and planning pages.
I also like that it is editable.
I love that you can edit the planner to suit your needs. I have not found a single planner that was “perfect,” but this one could be made perfect byt filling in and printing it out.
I checked out the sample pages and am extremely excited about the fact that the pages are editable. It would help me be better organized next year and make next year more enjoyable for me and my children!
I absolutely love the idea of month at a glance combined with the weekly planning page. Those are two things I’ve tried to create for myself, but never quite gotten it to my liking. I love the way it’s presented in this planner!
Love it, love it, love it! It has everything you need to help organize and plan your year…….I esp love the attendance sheet! Thank you so much for putting this together for those of us who need that little extra help with organization.

I love being able to edit our plans/results.
Love being able to purchase once, then reuse from year-to-year.
Cute Font!!!
I think the editable planner is a great idea. Way to go. This will help with organizing everything in our busy days. Thank you!
The planner looks great from the samples! I was excited to see that there was a planner page for workboxes too :) We don’t always use workboxes, but I like that I could have a neat little planner page for it. I could use the lines at the top to write down what we are doing that day and see from the list what-if anything- is workboxable and just type it in at the bottom, in the space for the workboxes. No flipping to another page or tab, it’s all right there together! I’d love to win this planner. I love being able to make something my very own (even if someone else did the hard work of getting it all set up for me- Jolanthe is brilliant!)
The fact that it is able to be re-used year after year and is editable makes it a GREAT buy. I would love one of these. I still have 6 more children to finish school, two have graduated already.
Wow – the planner looks great. I love, love, love that I can edit it on my own computer and print out what I need. Sweet.
Love this organizing tool. It looks like everything I need to get my day together. I “liked” on FB. Yeah

I like it! I bought a similar ebook but it wasn’t editable. I was bummed. I like the font too, its my favorite font.
I like the weekly homeschool planner on facebook.
I viewed the sample pages. Everything a person needs to stay on task. Really like the page for homeschool requirements since I’ve lived in 8 states and it can be challenging remembering who requires what.
I LOVE the fact that this planner is logical and simple (no added fluff-‘n-stuff to make it bigger)!!!! And the best part is it’s EDITABLE!!!!! My eraser will love me for it!

The whole planner looks “nifty”. But I like that it’s good for ALL the kids and can be reused next year and printed out as needed.
I love the fact that these are totally editable and you can reuse them year after year. I am an organizer at heart and this looks great!

I really like the Standardized testing and assessment result tracking section. I have found my kids test results in weird places, when I can find them! (I am a little unorganized!) I also liked the chore chart and how everyday your child can “earn” something! There is nothing like instant gratification to get you moving!

Oh my gosh I soo love this planner. I have struggled with using purchased planners, making my own, using the computer, nothing has worked. This looks like a wonderful format and very easy to use.
Thank you for sharing this information.
I liked all of the sample pages of the Homeschool Planner, but I really like the inclusion of meal planning, and the space for evaluations and journaling notes. My idea would be to edit (yay!) these spaces to be sections for observational notes so I can see the long term gains more easily.
Liked this on Facebook! I definitely want to follow the news on this one.
This looks so easy to use! I really like being able to use my computer and this would save a lot of time on figuring out templates!

I like the looks of the planner. I like the fact that it can be used year after year. With several children this would help save money in at least one area of our schooling needs.
I love that I can use my computer to keep track of the info and that it is editable. Much nicer than the one I got thru another company.
I, too, like the fact that it’s editable on the computer. There’s a lot of printable planning pages one can find, but that usually involves printing them off and then filling in by hand. If I want something typed and saved on the computer, I’ve had to make my own. I like that chore pages are included as well as “curriculum” type pages.
the planner looks great and would be a great help to keeping me more organized.. I love the plan and jounal page and the chores page as well.. these would be a great help and the curriculum planner too as i am trying to plan for next year…

I love the simplicity of the pages (and the font) as well as the ease of editing the pages on the computer.
I was looking through this earlier today and thought how nice it would be to keep more organization this year!
We are finishing up our first year of homeschooling, and all I can think about, is how can I be more organized next year when I’ll be schooling 2 kids? This planner looks like it would be so helpful. I love how there is a preschool planning section, as well as a menu planning.
I LOVE that the planner is customizable, especially the weekly planning sheets, looks great!
I “liked” it on FB
I love this planner! Every year I search a dozen planners to find one that I like, and every year I settle for one that isn’t quite right. This planner covers all the bases and so much more. It isn’t just for homeschooling, it also helps organize the rest of the busyness in our lives. I’m getting and I’m recommending it to my home-educating cohorts.
I love that it’s not only a homechool planner, but also incorporates dinner, chores, etc. No need to have more than one planner!
I “liked” the page on FB!
Everything about this homeschool planner is exciting! I am brand new to homeschooling and this planner is exactly what I have been looking for!

I love that I only have to purchase it once. That would mean I would probably save around $300 over our homeschooling years!
I “liked” this item on FB!
Of the pages sampled I like the attendance page best. It is just # of days as opposed to dates, or Monday thru Friday, like most are. We school all different days some times so this would be nicer to use, I think. :)
OK, I “liked” it on Facebook, too. :)
OK, now I’ve blogged about it. :)
i like the several many different detailed sheets that are completely editable and are all in one place, since i have so many lists in different areas (which usually wind up overlapping). i am very interested in the menu planner as well.
I’m excited about being able to customize the daily planner. I love the customizable option all the way through, but so many planners have subjects that we just don’t use. I also look to when I have more than one child homeschooling at once in different grades being able to customize it will make organizing myself and my children a lot easier. I also like that it said it has meal planning features in it which is such a huge thing for me.

The best thing about this planner is that you can edit it and use it year after year. But it is also very well laid out, with enough subject areas as well as areas for things done only once or twice a week!

This is a great tool for busy Moms! It has so much info that I might forget to record all in one place. Excellent!
I liked that the planner is editable so that I can make changes when needed. I also like the fact that I can come back to individual sheets and use them over and over again!
I love the legal-ese stuff – the stuff you always need at hand but never remember where it is… and I love that you can use this year after year, instead of buying a new planner every year!
And I like her planner page on FB!
Took a look at the planner and it looks good. I think I like that it can be edited on the computer to meet our needs. I also like how it not only has homeschool information, but household info too – ALL in one place.
Awesome! I make my own forms now, so having a starting point is amazing. The weekly notes are my favorite! Thanks.
The fact that it is editable is great!
I checked out the sample pages and loved that you can use it year after year and includes all elements of homeschooling. Would love to try it!
I commented on their facebook page.

Wow, I love that you can edit it on the computer & not write everything out by hand! That would save a lot of time!! :) It is all so organized – I really like the yearly planning page, that would help me get organized in my curriculum right now. :)

Facebook – liked it! Also thought about how I like I can use it year after year!
I liked the Yearly curriculum planning sheets and Yearly planning and evaluation sheets. I can keep my plans in the same planner to refer to throughout the year. And the whole planner is SIMPLE but THOROUGH. It wont take me a month to learn how to use it.

My favorite thing about this planner is that I can customize it. There are many GREAT planners out there, but no matter how perfect it looks, each of us runs our home and homeschool differently and no one planner can meet every need.
Having a meal planning page was a good addition.
This looks very helpful.
