Free 2017-2018 Year Round Homeschool Planning Form

January 17, 2017 | Leave a Comment
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

Today, I have the first color choice for the new school year. It is the 2017 to 2018 Year Round Homeschool Planning form and I named this color scheme Sea.

Remember that I create both academic and planing calendars. Though they may seem similar they are not.

When you take a closer look, you will see they each have a different purpose. The form I’m sharing today is for you to PLAN your school year and track the number of days and weeks you’re kids are doing school.

I have all 12 months on it, which means you can start on any month that you begin homeschooling and move forward to plan your year.

Plain calendars (okay, they are not so plain) are just for noting dates and for your reference. I don’t create them to write appointments on them OR to track your school.

Plain calendars are always on Step. 2. Choose Calendars/Appointment Keepers. The 2 page spread appointment keepers are for appointments and have more room for writing.

The form today is to plan your homeschool year with days off, teacher planning days and holidays to take off. It gives you a glimpse of your homeschool year. Plan and track your school year on it.

Because this form is not a calendar but more of a planning tool, I keep it each year at Step 5a. Choose Unique forms JUST for You!

If you need to see how to use it go to that step Step 5a. Choose Unique forms JUST for You! to look at my sample copy.

I hope you like this first choice. I have two more coming and I especially love when I can get it to you early.

Free Homeschool Academic Year Calendar {2017 to 2018}

I’m always excited when I can start planning early for the next school year by having a new form and today I have the first free homeschool academic year calendar for the 2017 to 2018 school year ready.

Just as a reminder, I keep the choices for this academic year calendar form on Step 2 each year and I normally try to give you 3 smokin’ hot choices.

Curriculum Pages for Planner

Don’t forget this is JUST a calendar for you to glance at the school year and make a few notes at the bottom.

I also make a planning your school calendar which gives you room to plan your school year.

It is found always on Step 5a. Choose Unique forms JUST for You.

Look below at the picture (sample from previous year) below so you can see the fine, but huge difference between just calendars like the one I have today and an actual planning form with a calendar and room to plan your year.

This is a PLANNING calendar from Step 5a. So you want to get BOTH types of calendars.

Also, this calendar today is not for writing appointments because you can grab a huge 2 page spread for noting appointments on Step 2. Choose Calendar/Appointment Keepers. The current 2 page appointment keepers are kept there.

Look at a picture below of a 2 page spread calendar, which gives you room to write appointments.

I hope these pictures make it more clear that the calendar I have today is just that. It is perfect for glancing at the year and for reference in your planner.

Save it and print off as many as necessary when you print your planner.

I always have two or more spread throughout my planner. I put one close to my lesson planning section, one close to the front of my planner and sometimes I even put on in the back so I don’t have to hunt very long for it.

DIY Undated 12 Month Calendar | Organized Planner

December 18, 2016 | Leave a Comment
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

I created this diy undated 12 month calendar so you can use it in multiple type of planners. Too, look at my Homeschool Planner for more free beautiful forms.

Remember this? I loved sharing my free printables and tips for my home management binder.

But it’s in need of an update.

It’s been about four years since I’ve updated it and a lot of things have changed.

DIY Undated 12 Month Calendar | Organized Planner

The first thing that I need to update is the diy undated 12 month calendar.

The last set I did to use in the home management binder was hard to use.

I’m not sure what I was thinking when I created it.

Home Management Binder @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool PLus

I must have had an out of body experience because it was so hard to read.

Of course, like I said that was almost four years ago and my experience in printables has grown tremendously (thank goodness).

Today, I have updated this set of undated monthly calendars because it is the one I prefer to use in my home management binder.

I prefer to use this set because I can add two or three years of the same month in my binder, which is a huge motivator for me as I track and plan our family life and look over the past year, current year and next year.

By simply filling out the calendars as needed, I have a ready made calendar at my finger tips.

However, the other thing too that unnerves me about writing in planners and calendars is that I’m a little obsessed with having lines to write on when I add a date or track information on my planner.

So not only did I make the calendar pages easier to read, but I added lines for writing.

Too, for my home management binder, I wanted a full page to write on and I also added a place at the bottom of each month for note taking.

Of course you can use these fee calendars on my

free student planner,
my free 7 Step Homeschool Planner
or my free Home Management Binder.

7 Step Free Homeschool Planner – Top 5 Questions Asked Are Answered

November 4, 2016 | 3 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

Today, I am taking time to answer the top 5 questions that I get frequently about the 7 Step free Homeschool Planner. Look at my pages Homeschool Planner and 7 Step Curriculum Planner for more forms and ideas.

I always, always appreciate your questions and because I don’t like you having to wait a long time for answers, I am rounding frequently asked questions here.

7 Step Free Homeschool Planner

And because I have a method to my madness, I hope these answers help you.

ONE/ What if I begin my school in a different month than when your printables begin in July and end in June?

I understand you may begin your school in August, September or even October, however, that is not when you begin to plan.

When setting up my organized system many years ago, it was and still is my goal to help you stay organized.

This means that generally, like most teachers, we should begin our planning months before we start teaching our kids.

However, because you get a full 12 months, it doesn’t matter when you choose to begin your school.

You can still use my forms by just starting on the month when you begin to plan.

By maintaining one month to begin (July) and one month to end the year (June, my system stays uniformed as I create hundreds of free forms across the 7 steps for you.

This would not be possible if I created forms to begin a year with May, June, August, September or even October because there is no way I could give you so many wonderful options.

TWO/ Do you create other sizes like A5, personal or mini pages?

No.

Most of my audience, like me, wants all the room they can possibly get to write down lesson plans.

My planner utilizes as much as I can get on a regular size page and still leaves room for coil binding.

I can see when you have only one child, you may not want all that room and I have a Unit Study Planner that has a unique lesson planning page which would work well for one child, but it is regular paper size.

THREE/ What if I don’t have a fancy printer? Can I still create this?

Absolutely!

I have used three very different printers over the years and the least and most inexpensive one does just as great of a job as my fancy HP one I had albeit the smaller one takes a bit more time.

Right now, I am still using the portable CANON PIXMA iP110 Wireless Mobile Printer I used when we moved overseas.

I still love it and have changed the way I do things.

Before we moved, I had an office in my house.

But when we traveled and stayed in different hotels in different countries, I got use to plugging up my printer anywhere I was sitting at and have loved the flexibility of moving around.

FOUR/ I’m having problems with my download.
Some of the numbers or boxes are missing. What causes that?

Most of the time, when your download is not printing correctly, it can be traced back to a problem with reader and browser compatibility.

Too, it may be because you use the default reader for the MAC or for a smart phone.

Adobe is a universal reader and Chrome a universal browser.

It’s always best to print from your tablet or laptop as phones can cause hiccups.

Maybe one day technology will make it all possible with no hiccups.

FIVE/ Do you recommend a binding machine or products for binding the planner?

Though I love all the easy binding machines now offered, the whole foundation of this planner is a DIY project.

This means using things that are easily found or relatively inexpensive, which is coil binding.

It shouldn’t take buying fancy office supplies to do that.

You certainly can invest in cool products, but again, my goal is that this planner can be made by anybody with minimal products to purchase.
