Do You Have The Old Schoolhouse Planner?
Do You Have The Old Schoolhouse Planner?
Are you an organized homeschooler? I'm not. It takes a whole lot of planning to keep me organized. I don't know about you, but I find it quite overwhelming when it comes to being organized with my homeschooling and keeping up with the day to day organization of our family life.
Since I am already a subscriber to The Old Schoolhouse Magazine (TOS) I learned of a new product that they recently introduced called The Schoolhouse Planner. I want to share my thoughts with you on this wonderful, specialized planner.
A successful key element to planning is to organize every aspect of your homeschool day. The Schoolhouse Planner is designed with that in mind. It not only contains the features one might expect in a homeschool planner - daily, weekly, monthly and yearly calendars but also wonderfully designed field trip planning forms, book logs, extra activities, reading the bible on a school year schedule, memory verses, nature study forms, science lab forms, as well as keeping track of curriculum that you want or have in a curriculum planning area.
The Schoolhouse Planner also has many other planning tools for other areas of your life. Areas that are vitally important such as; grocery, menu planning, food logs, budget, household and financial planning forms. The Schoolhouse Planner has some awesome advantages for your planning that include progress reports, chore charts, budget, a place just for directions for all those places we are off running to.
If you think that is all there is, I am not finished, there is so much more to make your homeschooling family life more organized so that things run smoothly for you and your family.
The Schoolhouse Planner includes a few essays from some favorite homeschool authors like Amy Pak, Jeannie Fulbright, and the ever popular Amanda Bennett who have relevant topics such as how to homeschool for beginners up through high school. How to teach Geography and Science and the benefits of teaching a foreign language. The information comes from those who are seasoned homeschoolers and it is priceless.
Some of the great unanticipated bits and pieces that make The Schoolhouse Planner a one of a kind and a must have for every homeschool family are the easy to use recipes, measurement conversions and a great kitchen conversion cheat sheet along with other helpful tidbits.
There are some homeschooling essentials that include states and capitals, countries, timelines, 7 wonders of the ancient and modern world, periodic tables, famous artists and composers.
For those who enjoy or have questions about unit studies there is something special just for you. I personally find The Schoolhouse Store Resource List invaluable which is available every month.
The Schoolhouse Planner has many forms such as; Annual Plans, Yearly Goals, Curriculum Planning, Course Of Study, Educational Objectives, End Of The Year Evaluation, End of the year Report card and Yearly grades.
What more could you want?
The Schoolhouse Planner has it all and then some it was created just for the homeschool family whether you have the average family size or a quiverful.
The incomparable beauty of this planner is that you can download it immediately and print what you need. If you have a large family it is convenient for you as well. All that is needed is to download the extra needed forms for each child.
The hyperlinks are clickable and the format is interactive PDF. Never heard of interactive PDF you say? It is basically a customization specifically for you and your family. You can type directly on the forms on your computer before printing.
The Schoolhouse Planner will be offering supplemental planner modules for your convenience and every month The Schoolhouse Store will contain links to date-appropriate resources at The Schoolhouse Store.
