Binders! My Planning for 2009-2010

Posted in Planning

After two weeks of school (we started August 18), I bought some 1-inch, 3-ring binders, tabbed dividers, and a few other school supplies, the lack of which I was really feeling. Last Monday the boys and I set up our personal school 3-ring binders. I feel much less scattered now.

My binder is home for my planning documents for this year, which I developed this summer, as well as my records and other helpful materials. Follow the links to see each document over at Google Docs. I did most of them in OpenOffice, using tables (it's what I use instead of Word).

Son1 and Son2's binders

1. This week's checklist for each subject, customized for each boy.

2. Tabbed dividers for each subject in which they keep work and/or references.

Mom's binder

1. The weekly routine. Mondays and Wednesdays are similar; Tuesdays and Thursdays are similar; Friday is its own thing.

2. This week's log page for each boy.

3. The current six-week-period checklist. This is my checklist.

4. My book list for each boy. I'm still tweaking this, of course.

5. Subject materials for the week's planning or my reference. Right now I have at my fingertips a little basic music theory; the table of contents for the current and next Algebra chapters; the upcoming history lessons; and info on literary analysis at a middle-school level.

6. Previous log pages for the boys, along with brief info on field trips, outside classes, etc., that we did.

7. Latin, Greek alphabet, and soon German reference materials for my use when I study ahead.

8. Our school year calendar.

9. A reference page, "One Week's Work" for each boy. I worked this out to figure out the pace for each subject to be on track for the year.
