Option 2A.
Two-Page Per Month Calendar.
Academic Year.
Purpose: More room For Tracking Important Dates.
I use classical fonts on the calendar. Too, if I am going to use a calendar for the year, I want a calendar that inspires me each day, i.e. I have to have color.
If you do not track school weeks, {which is real easy record keeping even for states or countries that don’t require it} then use those areas to either write notes, special events for that month or a to-do list.
Tracking weeks that you are in school is the easiest or the very basics of record keeping.
Though I don’t have to do anything here in Texas, I feel it’s important to be accountable because as your children grow and enter high school, it becomes important.
So I went ahead and added a box for that because I want to reflect my experience in my forms which helps you to be better organized.
Important All of my forms for the academic calendar begin July and end June. So this is a full 12 year.

I don’t see them on this page, so I wanted to ask: Do you offer a one page monthly calendar. It reduces the amount of paper/thickness of the planner. Last year I used another resource, but I’d love to support you in buying yours if you have it for this year.
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for asking. I do not have monthly calendars with each month on one page and this is why. When you use my planner from the beginning, the whole planner ends up being thinner. With that being said, I have created the forms where you would typically want more space:
For example, here on this page, I have the 2 pages per month calendar because we need more room typically noting homeschool activities and family life. I just didn’t have enough room to write on a one page per month calendar.
In addition, if you will notice that I have an academic calendar for reference which is one page AND I have a school calendar for tracking weeks which is one page too. So this spreads around the homeschool planning but keeps all dates on one page for easy reference.
If you print my planner front and back you can see through the years that my planner didn’t get that thick. Too, if you just feel like you need way more pages this year, I have also created a half year planner. Then at the mid point, print again. I did that one year when I felt like I had to have a few more scope and sequences in my planner.
I hope that helps to explain why I use 2 page per month calendars. We just need way more room to write all kinds of events with living life and homeschooling.
Thanks for being here! And glad to have you.
