Homeschool Planning

Front cover of my 7 Step Planner

I plan our days using Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus free 7 step planner. I did create some of my own pages, such as my 2 page spread for daily lesson plans that is mainly what you will be seeing in our day to day photos of our planning pages. Again though I used Kingsoft, any one who would like them, I will gladly send them to you. I also did make up a similar one page planning page for those with only one child. However, I will try to do them with a better program later as well. A side note to this, Tina is also a fellow sister.

I use what is commonly referred to as a loop scheduling system. So while some subjects are covered daily, others are in a loop, today I will do art, tomorrow I will do music, today we will make sure to do a Bible Lesson from the Brochure, and tomorrow we will do a lesson from the Listen to God Brochure. Today Lela may do a lesson from Emma Serl's Primary Language Lessons, and tomorrow could be a lesson from a McGuffey Reader. However, I do read daily to Belle and RJ from the My Book of Bible Stories, and I do daily Bible reading with Lela. Daily Text and our children's kingdom song every day. Much of the other material can change on a dime and is not required daily in my schedule, but more of we aim for the subject or text to be used at least weekly or more depending.

I have a vlog posted that details my planner the best. But, if you don't want to go to youtube, below you can find photos of it.
