Well, I’ve done it again.

I’ve waited until the last two weeks before really coming up with a solid Homeschool Plan.

Sure I’ve been collecting various eBooks and curriculum resources over the Summer, but it’s been more like a Homeschool Curriculum feeding frenzy instead of an organized and thoughful process.

It’s time to load everything on the table and see what I’m working with here folks

Classroom.

That is not even this years photo.

I’m so far behind, I haven’t even made the obligatory mess of dining room table yet.

It’s going to be a busy week folks.

So to keep myself invested in this process I decided to update our Independent Weekly Homeschool Calendar, as well as our Goals and Planing sheets.  You can still print the older versions here and here if you like them, but this year I needed a little Color Pop to get my act in gear.  If you’re struggling to wrap your head around how to schedule your curriculum, try this simple tip for each subject.  How to make a list of Goals, Resources, and Action Plan

I’ll be using these with my younger children this year for sure!  My older children are going to try Lesson Trek, mostly because I thought Middle School would be a great time to learn how to keep an online calendar as well.  We’re always looking for real life scenarios to add in that Technology requirement!

If you’re still curriculum shopping like me be sure to check out our Curriculum Reviews and our Homeschool eBooks!

I’ve just finished our Letter of the Week Preschool Curriulum, and it’s very low-prep, so grab that if you need a quick fix for your kiddo too.

I know we’re mid-Summer, but if you’re like me you like to get a head start on some homeschool planning.

(or at least some homeschool pinning)

Today I have a super simple and updated version of our weekly homeschool planner.

I’m not sure if you can count it as a planner because really it’s just a single page, but it’s worked for me for the past 5+ years and I think it’s the easiest planner around.

You know I’m all about simple.

There is a place for children to write their name, the week number across the top. Subjects go in the left hand column, and daily assignments go across the row. There is a section for notes, as well as general life planning and after school events at the bottom.

If you’re looking for a complete planner simply print up one sheet for each week then bind them together or keep them in a three ring binder.

 

However, here’s how I use them:

Because many curricula come with pre-scheduled assignments in the front of the book I actually have my children use this as a daily completion chart.  I laminate mine, hang them up on the wall and then as they complete each subject they check off their work for the day.  I think this is a fantastic way to encourage them to take responsibility for completing their work, and it helps them to SEE what they have left to do for the day.

 

I created this planner to encourage children to keep track of their own schedules.

Not just because I’m a little lazy when it comes to planning, but because I want my children to start to learning planning and organizing skills for themselves. That is the goal right.  Little birds learning to fly on their own.

If you have younger children try our K-5th grade planner.  There are boy and girl versions, blank and pre-written ones as well. Instead of the notes section the younger planners include a weekly box for a sticker when their goals are completed.
