The monthly calendars have large boxes that I will not be able to over-fill! Yeah, no more writing in the margin. But if I did need to write in the margin there is plenty of room to do that. Also pictured here are two recipes, each month there are two tried n' true recipes. Examples of the recipes include....Spinach Alfredo Lasagne, Chicken and Rice, Big Dave's Big Family Chili, and Stromboli. Then each month there are topics for study, with an expert in that area sharing wisdom for us. For instance in the month of September, Dr. Jay Wile writes about "Weather", followed by a handy guide to clouds with extensive description of them. These tools each month would be great starters for month long unit studies.
Charts and tables galore!
Homeschool Forms...there is a plethora of fabulous forms to use.
Some I have already printed off to include in the planner I will have bound include:
~Annual plans....these are set up to briefly write out your homeschool plan for the whole year. They could be for one child but I also intend to use them for a full year. For example, today I am writing out my plan for our hymn study for the year. I will print off the full year and schedule in each hymn will study week by week. Oops...I forgot to mention that each planning sheet has the capablity to type in it! Yes...so I can type the topic "Hymn" then type in each week which hymn we will study. Isn't that fabulous! A planner where you can type into the form anything and everything to make it personally yours!
~Curriculum Planning Sheet...Wouldn't it be great to have a sheet where side by side you could compare each curriculum that you are choosing between? That is exactly what is available within the planner.
Other forms which I will use this year include:
~High School Hours Tracking Log
~Weekly planning for two children(I plan everything for Jennifer using Homeschool Tracker than it transfers into her report card and transcript
~Books Read this Year
~Field Trip planning sheet and a Field Trip report sheet
the list is endless!
If that doesn't peak your curiosity, then let me list a few of the household planning forms.
