Planning my year, hmm. I start thinking and planning before the end of the school the year before. I have already decided what curriculum I will use. Most of it is planned out for me, but I always like to see what week we will be studying what so I can plan relatable field trips, library books, buy extras for reinforcement, etc. I am not required in my state to have any written lesson plans, but it is good practice for the high school transcript years. It also makes a good keepsake to utilize for future students. I spend a lot of time online, researching things like foreign languages and math curricula. I download online books and worksheets about things we will study. (I really should go ahead and print these, as many times I realize that we studied something and I forgot to find it on my computer.) I keep a lookout for CD's, DVD's and Videos that will go along with our studies. Some, I purchase and some, I check online at the library to see if they carry it. My little notes about these things tend to get lost so I am probably wasting a lot of time. I need to have it all in the same place and create a habit of using it. I have tried, in the past, to keep up with journals, notebooks, planners, but have not stayed with it. i tried Flylady and keeping a notebook of when to clean what. I have to say, it works, but I've yet to find one that I will continue with. I am finding more and more that I need to plan my schedule better. Not so much the school schedule, but to plan the school schedule and the rest of our life together. They are too segmented. I would love to have at my fingertips what I need to buy for a school recipe or craft on my grocery or errand list. since gas prices are so high, I try to schedule all of my errands together and to have it all in one place would be nice - no, necessary. Maybe I'll have this thing figured out eventually.
