Ever since we started
homeschooling I have used Sunday night to review what we did the week before and
plan the upcoming week. I have 2 older girls who do some of their own planning
themselves, but I still think through the direction they will take in those
areas of study in the upcoming week.
After looking at many planners, I decided
to make my own spreadsheet on the computer to organize our studies. The days of
the week go across the top and the subject areas down the left side. This allow
me space to write down the books we will be reading aloud, ideas and concepts I
want to discuss with the kids each morning, areas of study for each child,
service areas that week, music lessons, etc.
When I plan ahead and organize my
week, we spend more time enjoying our studies. When I am not organized, I
usually spend more time looking for that book or the art supplies I intended to
use that day. Organization can save you time and headaches.
