I am so excited about the new fabulous look for the homeschool lesson planning pages that I have been working on.
I just had to give you a sneak peek of what I will be releasing soon if you are preparing to make your homeschool planner.
It has been quite a few years since I used my original classic layout and it has been great for many years.
Too, I have been wanting to update my original classic look for a while. However, during the years I had so many other forms I needed like for high school and other subjects that I had to put this on my long term goal list.
I am tickled to be able to tackle this project this year.
A few updates to the original classic are:
- It will all now be in color. Oh yes, yippee.
- I have spaced the writing lines more evenly.
- Too, I have added columns to the content area in case you want to break down and jot your notes for each subject in a more organized way.
- I left a space at the bottom for notes in case you wanted to expand on one subject or if you just wanted to jot down some comments.
- At the top right, I added 4 boxes that can be used for a quick list or for a to-do column. In addition, if you live in a place that requires more stringent record keeping, the columns allow for you to track by weeks.
- At the far right at the top, I kept the lesson number but made them bigger.
Also, every 5 lesson plans, I changed the color of the Lesson Plan Numbers so that you could easily see when you covered a typical school week of 5 days. - Under Lesson Plan, I put a space for the date if you want to pen it in.
A few things I did not change because they have worked timelessly over the years are:
- It is still ONE lesson per PAGE planner. I do not care for weekly planners that take up one or two pages when I need more room to write. Weekly planners have their place, but in homeschooling, I find we need more room.
- It is still undated. This means it will be a ONE time purchase.
- Too, you are never behind on an undated planner because you school the days that fit your family. Just fill in the dates as you go.
- It still has a space to use with 3 kids. Again, not because I only like three kids, but that seems to fit the space best. Remember, if you have younger children, you can easily divide off the sections to include them. The workload will vary with the ages of your children, so two children could easily share one space.
- The basic subjects that are the same year after year are filled in too.
I will be offering it as a package, which means I have some other goodies that will come with it.
I hope to have it ready by next month as I really dawdle when I make forms because I want them to be not only beautiful but powerful to use.
I can’t wait to share it with you.
Hugs and love ya,
