This is the 7 Step Curriculum Planner and Step 5C which has more unique forms for you.
Curriculum Pages for Planner
21. Community Service Record.
Purpose of Form: To help track community service or volunteer work by a teen or to use in states or countries where more record keeping is required. I used this form to track my son’s community service in high school.
.
Also look at the sample to see how I filled mine out.
22. Planning Sheet for Multiple Children.
Purpose of Form: To help you to not over plan. Seeing a realistic overview of the subjects you are trying to accomplish for the year keeps them in perspective. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy by over planning too many subjects. All subjects fall into the categories listed on the form. To understand more about homeschooling multiple children and using this form go to my blog post here: 5 Days Of The Benefits & Challenges of Teaching Mixed Ages Together – Day 4: Embrace Homeschooling Multiple Grades.
23. Planning & Tracking Memorization Work.
Purpose of Form: To both plan and track all types of memorization work for your homeschool. A key has been provided at the top of the form to help you plan and record as you want to keep memorization work balanced and fun when you add it to your school year.
7 Step Homeschool Planner
24. Homeschool Co-op Planning & Tracking Classes.
Purpose of Form: To track content covered in a homeschool co-op class. Look at the sample below where I explain how to use it and stay organized.
About the time period section. Instead of using “July to June” which I use for most of my year round forms, I left the time period blank because homeschool co-op are all very different as to when they begin and end.
Your children may attend a co-op once a week, once a month or multiple times a week. The time period “From____ to ____” is much more flexible and allows you to track the time period by months, semesters or weeks.
The page also has 8 boxes or sections on it which is enough either for a 7 day week or for about 2 months if attendance is monthly.
About 8 sections for the 7 day week. Some homeschool co-op activities flow into the weekend even if your child attends only 5 days a week. Especially at the high school level or when you are in a state or country where you need to track all the activities your children are doing, the 8 sections allows a place to jot down what they have covered during the 5 day week and as they do activities that flow into the 2 day weekend.
If you need to track actual hours, the box is big enough to pencil the time in too. I am still on the fence about adding a box within the notes section for actual hours, but I know not everybody tracks that exacting. Again, it’s big enough though if you do need to track that way.
About 8 sections for monthly co-ops. Our co-op met monthly so I would use one sections to track each monthly meet up. So one page would be enough for me to get about 2 months on it.
About Name{s} section. I even left the name section very vague instead of putting “Student’s Name” on that part. If all of your children attend the co-op, you may want to put their names in that box or in my case, our co-op had a name so I would put the co-op name in that area. There was a time when we were attending parts of two co-ops also. So I would have two forms going in my planner for that scenario, with the name of the co-op on each one.
Too, you can use one form per child and put each child’s name in that section and this is especially helpful if you have a teen in high school. It allows you a way to track just his or her activities when you need a bit more record keeping for a young adult. Sometimes each child is going to a different co-op and you may need one form per child. Too, it may just be your preference that each child has his own form.
Like all my forms, you decide which forms to print and how many instead of me deciding for you by throwing one huge curriculum planner at one time which is never my style.
About the date/s section. As you can see from the sample above, it also is very flexible allowing you to fill it in and check each day for the week or just use it for one time a week.
25. Library Resources List.
Purpose of Form: To track library resources. The title of this form is “Library RESOURCES” and not Library Books. Most of the time we can borrow so many more things from a library other than just books. For example, at our library we can borrow DVDS too.
So I used a more broad term to include other media you may borrow from the library. Then the next thing I did was to divide the sections by 10 items.
Sometimes we will pick up a lot of items at the library and sometimes it is just a few. But hopefully, with the sections divided by 10 items, which means that 30 titles fit on one page, it will help you to see at a glance how many items are not returned yet.
So the captions across the top are titles, due date and then a column to mark when you have returned the item. Plus I like things separated a bit when I am writing on my planner instead of everything running together.
26. Beyond Museums and Zoos Homeschool Field Trip Reference Form.
Purpose of Form: After you have homeschooled for a few years, you realize that some places are what I call keepers for each year. They are places you don’t mind visiting again and again like museums and a zoo. But as time marches on and kids grow, you need ideas for other places.
So I created a homeschool field trip reference chart that is divided by season that you can easily add to your 7 step homeschool planner. I added 10 ideas for each season.
In listing the ideas, I tried to avoid some places, not all though that would be pretty obvious in a particular season. You know about them already and besides you probably have traditions or will have them in each season. Print if off and keep it near your field trip section so if the creative juices aren’t flowing, you can reference this page.
27. Digital Books List Forms.
Purpose of Form: With the growing amount of wonderful digital products, it can be hard to know what you have without constantly searching your devices.
This form allows you to group resources by 4 and it has a place to jot down what you may want to remember on the digital resources for lesson planning purposes.
Too, the longer box above each grouping of 4, allows you to organize your content by genre.
For example, if you have Civil War history books, then use Civil War for your title and list your resources under that. Add your notes and even put page numbers if you want to.
Printing this off and keeping it handy in your planner, you can have a picture at a glimpse of what digital forms you are storing on your devices.
I have two fun colors. One is color and one is gray. Me? I print off the color one and the rest of the pages I use the gray-ish one.
28. Scope and Sequence Divider Pages.
Purpose of Form: Sometimes you don’t want or need a whole tabbed section for your scope and sequence, but you may want to add them to another section. The bottom line is that one side or page, which is the beginning of the scope and sequence can be blank.
And since I have different things within a tabbed section, I decided to create dividers for the scope and sequence section to print on the blank side. This makes it prettier and you know too what is on the other side of the page. I don’t like blank pages in my planner and since each page counts, these divider pages come into different fonts and are great to print on the other side of the page.
29. Science Materials Checklist
Purpose of Form: Prepare your science materials for the new year. More than once, I have been caught short at the house with some of the supplies we needed in our home to complete the activities.
And even though we have used laid out science curriculum too, I have learned a lot through the years regarding how to stock my kitchen and home.
Finally, I have reduced some of the things we have used over and over, year after year and put them in this homeschool science materials checklist.
30. Hands-on Project Rubric
Purpose of Form: To use as a way to grade hands-on projects. Be sure to look at my post How to Grade Hands-on Homeschool Activities and Projects (Free Rubric for Grading) for more specific tips on how to get the most benefit from using it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to put this all together, what an excellent resource!!
You are just very welcome Amy. Glad to have you here.
Thank you so much for the great resources! After 7 years of homeschooling, this will be my first intent to having a planner.
Hi Leslie,
Well great to have you here and I know the lesson planner has simplified my lesson planning.
Have a super year and enjoy the planner.
Thank you for your generosity and talents. In today’s world it is very rare for strangers to help each other without expecting something in return. What you have done in creating these amazing planner pages is nothing short of a demonstration of love of neighbor and of our children. Your kindness is so appreciated and will not be fogotten.
I just took my pages to have them printed at our local print shop and they are just what I need for teaching Pre-K this year. Your pages are much more well thought-out and professional compared to school district or store bought materials. Thank you again and may you have peace. Hebrews 13:16
From heart to yours Liz, you are VERY welcome. You just make my day with such sweet words.
I enjoy sharing how I organize.
It does me no good to keep it all in my head and I love the homeschooling community.
If it keeps all on the road to a superior education, then it’s all been worth it.
Thank you for being here and following, it means a lot.
And enjoy Pre-K, It is only one year :o)
Peace to you too and hugs
