Aug. 9, 2009 - Still planning?

I have several planning forms on the site that have been downloaded quite a few times in the last week so apparently I’m not the only one still doing my planning for this fall!  Typically I’m done by now but I guess it hasn’t been a typical summer for us.   Since it appears some are still planning I will share my favorite grid.  It’s just an Excel spreadsheet I made but it has everything for each child on one sheet.  I LOVE THAT!  Here it is in pdf and in Excel.  If you have Excel chose that one so you’ll be able to make changes.  If you’re looking for other ideas and forms check out my planning category at right for previous blogs.   Here’s what a finished sheet look like.   It may not seem to make much sense at first glance but once you know the abbreviations it makes perfect sense.  For instance under history I have MOH, that stands for Mystery of History and the number is the chapter.  In the math column I have LOF, that stand for Life of Fred with the chapter or “bridge” which is what they call their tests.   Each child gets one of these in the front of their binder so they know (and I can remember) what each is responsible for that week.  We do have a daily/day schedule that I post of the bulletin board that simply says what day and sometimes time we work on what.  (I’ve blogged on that before so I’ll not repeat here.)   So happy planning!  I’m “almost” done, how about you? p.s. Just a little note, on the download's sometimes in "preview" mode the line don't turn out right but when you actually download they do.
