Free List of Major Holidays For 5 Years 1 Planning Page

July 1, 2022 | Leave a Comment
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

I’ve updated the list of major holidays for your homeschool planner. Having a list of the major holidays for 5 years on one page is a handy reference page used in planning.

And too everybody plans differently for holidays. Homeschoolers can from many backgrounds and not all of us take off every holiday.

This form not only helps you plan your homeschool, but gives you a reference for when businesses will be closed. Also, it helps me to remember when public school may be out in my area.

Planning Your Homeschool Around Holidays

Also, this 5 years of major holidays on one reference page I have for you today gives you much flexibility when preparing your 7 Step DIY Homeschool Planner.

Free List of Major Holidays For 5 Years 1 Planning Page

In addition, look at the ways you can use it:

  • If you’re planning long-term projects, you’ll love having the handy reference page to plan the days off for your homeschool.
  • Short-term planning becomes a cinch because you can quickly glance at upcoming holidays.
  • By looking this far out, it helps me to decide when I want to take a family vacation.

But these forms are used to help you plan not just your homeschool year, but vacations and days off of your school year.

Also, my form can be used beyond planning homeschool and holidays.

It can be used in my diy easy home management binder, diy best student planner, and unit study planner.

Curriculum Pages for Planner

In addition because my 5 years of holidays listed on one page is updated each year, be sure to grab it each year here on my blog OR on the permanent place here on my site which is Step. 2. Choose Calendars/Appointment Keepers.

How a Homeschool Planning Calendar is Superior to a Regular Calendar

June 24, 2022 | Leave a Comment
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

Once you learn the differences between a homeschool planning calendar and regular calendar there is no going back. When creating my homeschool planner, my planning calendar is one of the first things I print.

It’s ready way before my year starts or I print my planner.

What exactly is a planning calendar? It is a calendar which communicates the dates you and your children will count as official school days; it’s a visual of which dates you plan to have off during the year.

In addition, your family can see your in-teacher dates, (yes I have them) vacation times, and end of the school year date. Noting winter breaks and summer breaks are equally important.

Additionally, if you live in a state where you have record keeping, you notate reporting periods. If you must report to a proctor, you add report card dates.

How a Homeschool Planning Calendar is Superior to a Regular Calendar

Planning Your Year Homeschool

As you can see, it’s VERY different than just a regular calendar. A regular calendar is not for planning, it’s just for reference.

By using a schedule you are getting these benefits:

  • freedom because you see a plan for how to fit in learning
  • setting the pace of the year to suit your family
  • planning for rest periods which suit your family
  • keeping family time a priority by planning vacations
  • making time for you the teacher by shading in your workdays
  • seeing a visual of the year keeps your goals realistic and within reach

From this list, you see that making school fit you and your family is what is important.

Although some feel that planning like this is confining, they miss the point.

It has quite the opposite effect. Freedom comes from controlling what you can and letting go when you can’t.

After all, it’s not the schedule or plan that is a mistake. It’s the part where some think a schedule can’t be changed or moved around.

There is no doubt about it — this quote may be overused and I whole heartedly agree. It’s timeless for a reason.

“If You Fail to Plan, You Are Planning to Fail” — Benjamin Franklin

It’s that simple. There are many reasons that I’ve homeschooled, worked, and been able to run a site/ blog.

The best one is no secret and that is I planned every year.

Everything has a place. Oh, don’t think by any stretch that I maintained everything in stone. I didn’t and still don’t. I have many days where I’m frazzled, but I have way more where I’m fulfilled.

However, I never allowed a planning schedule to make me feel like I was hemmed in.

Tracking Your Homeschool Year

Next, there is another feature on the homeschool schedule which I add and is important. The feature is a part to help you track your days and weeks you homeschool.

Even if you don’t need to record keep, tracking days and weeks is an extremely visual way to track your success.

Hear my heart when I say you can be constantly barraged either by self-doubt or from others if you’re doing enough. That was my initial mindset when I started creating these forms more than 10 years ago.

How to Plan Your Homeschool Year

Little did I know the feature of tracking days and weeks would keep me positive. You don’t worry if you’re doing enough because you see your progress daily and weekly.

So, look exactly at how I planned and use the form every year. I’m using one of my schedules from a previous year.

First, look at how my form is set up. By the way, after I update it each year, I keep the updated version at Step 5a. Choose Unique Forms JUST for You.

How a Homeschool Planning Calendar is Superior to a Regular Calendar

Further, here are the flexible ways you can use it:

  • Because there are 12 months, you can begin and end with the months you want. If you don’t school year-round, no problem. Again, just pick up at the month you’re starting and plan to when you want stop. The point is the form is very flexible.
  • After the month where you kept track (look at picture below) of the days you homeschooled, note them on the line provided. Add the days as you go along so you have the total at the end.
  • Use the key at the bottom of the form to use different color highlighters or symbols for dates you want to track.
  • In addition, highlight holidays you celebrate. Everyone does not celebrate the same holidays, so I don’t include U.S. holidays. The form is there for you to note the important days to your family.

Now, look below at how my hardworking and highly useful no fluff schedule works.

How a Homeschool Planning Calendar is Superior to a Regular Calendar

Notice these 5 important points in how to use it.

  1. Use one color to shade or outline the days you plan to school.
  2. Then use another to plan the days you won’t school.
  3. Also circle or add in teacher days for you. I didn’t include any here because I wanted to focus on showing you how to track school days.
  4. Count the days cumulatively. This way you know EXACTLY where you are at in your school year. For example, 180 days is a typical school year. Some schools follow 130 or 160. Knowing how many days you school in a 12-month period is empowering.
  5. Likewise, seeing my flex days or days not planned shows me how much time I have to move around.

Also, if you’ll notice on my form, I took off almost the whole month of April. Here in Texas, it’s plain insane to try to do too much during the hot summer months.

Instead, we enjoy the cooler days of spring and finish up my year in the summer; I still have time in June to flex with.

Don’t homeschool another year without this awesome form.

I have the color choices for the 2022 to 2023 homeschool planning schedules. Build your homeschool schedules from this form.

Long range planning is key to sticking to homeschool, so I know you’ll love getting these color choices early.

Homeschool Planning Schedules

Remember, I create both academic and physical year calendars to help you build your homeschool planning schedules.

Although the homeschool planning schedule calendars may seem similar to plain calendars, let me assure you they are not.

I create 3 different sets of calendars each year.
One set is a homeschool planning your year calendar;
one set set is a regular calendar for reference;
and one set is a two page per month calendar which have big boxes for writing in.

When you take a closer look, you’ll see that each calendar has a different purpose.

School Year 2022-2023 Homeschool Planning Schedules Beautiful Forms

Dynamic Homeschool Planning Schedule

First, keep in mind the PERMANENT home for this homeschool planning form each year is Step 5a. Choose Unique Forms JUST for You.

I release it first to my followers getting my updates in their email. If you want the forms first, remember to follow me by clicking here to sign up and confirm in your inbox.

Look at the features of this hardworking dynamic homeschool planning schedule calendar. The dynamic homeschool planning schedule calendar

  • has all 12 months on one page so if you school year round, you can still track;
  • is a calendar where you want to highlight weeks you plan to homeschool and mark out weeks you take off;
  • is used to track each day and total weeks by writing down;
  • can be used to prior plan detailed, loosely, or note on it as you school each day;
  • has a comprehensive key box at the bottom of the form for you to note things like first day of school, holidays, quarters, and goals for days and weeks to homeschool.

Important Note: For this school year I went back to starting the forms on July and end June. 

Of course, it doesn’t matter when this form begins because you can start planning with the first month you begin.

As a side note, plain calendars I create (okay, they are not so plain) are just for noting dates and for your reference.

I don’t create them with room to write appointments on them OR to track your school.

Curriculum Planning Pages

So the other two calendars I created are the plain calendars are always on Step. 2. Choose Calendars/Appointment Keepers and the 2 page spread appointment keepers which are for appointments and have room for writing.
