This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

The 2025 new year homeschool goals printable is ready. You’ll love the other forms I have for my free Homeschool Planner.

This homeschool life planner goal form is one of my very favorites for one important reason.

It focuses on what to TURN LOOSE in the new year.

Many goals forms tout what to change, what to do and what to improve.

2025 New Year Homeschool Goals FREE Printable (Get it Together Girl)

I reject the constant push to be stressed. In fact, as homeschool families we are very hard working.

Besides, it’s important to accept current circumstances and lower our expectations, not lower our standards.

So, as in the past years I encourage you to focus on what to let go as well.

I’ve created my 2025 new year homeschool goals free printable.

In addition, look at some of these fun accessories I use in my planner.

HOMESCHOOL PLANNER ACCESSORIES

Too, I don’t use an expensive printer to put together my homeschool planner each year.

Eco Highlighter Pencils

Semikolon Sticky Page Tab Markers

I've used these for years and love them.

And then look at 3 reasons why doing less in the new year reduces burnout.

3 REASONS TO EMBRACE LESS IN THE NEW YEAR

1. The constant push to do more reduces clarity; it does not increase productivity.

Don’t get me wrong, sometimes we have to push through.

Then again, we’re used to doing just that. We’re not used to saying this is my best and it’s perfect.

With reduced pressure comes clarity of purpose.

2. Self-care is a must for adults and our kids.

Gone should be the days of the mindset that self-care is negative and selfish overtones.

Simply, to be the best home educator we need time to rejuvenate.

3. Intentional homeschooling is what brings success.

And when we homeschool intentionally, we don’t lose sight of our goals.

Remember cutting back doesn’t mean less progress, it means forward progress with purpose.

Also, look at these other forms to add to your planner.

The best part of my free 7 Step DIY Homeschool Planner is I show you step by step how to put it together.

Free Student Planner Undated Calendar {Girly Girl Set}

August 4, 2024 | 5 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

I have another free student planner undated calendar. Also, look my page DIY Best Student Planner. Also, look at DIY 7 Step Curriculum Planner and my page Homeschool Planner for more forms which easily can be used here.

I love my kids. 

I don’t want to sound corny, but I love your kids too and wanted something that would make them excited about using their free student planners. 

So today, I am sharing some some free undated calendar-like pages.  I’ll explain about it more in a minute.

Free Student Planner Undated Calendar {Girly Girl Set}

Too, like I mentioned I wanted something for your kids that they would hopefully think is smokin’ hot and would breathe some life into their organizational efforts. 

Color and pizzazz do it all the time for me in my curriculum planner and well I want something special for them too. 

Just like learning, the organization itch should start early and we should be passing on some of our organizational habits to our kids. 

Like us, they want things that are pretty too and so finally, I have one set created as your kids and my kids have been on my mind.

Curriculum Pages for Planner

So this is the first of two sets. 

Girls first and I started with a set just for them. Besides, they’re so cute your creative boys may love them too.

And even though I don’t have any girls, though one day far, far, far off in the future, I hope to have the most sweetest daughter-in-laws ever, I know you probably have one or two sweet girls.

With them in mind, I have created the first set of undated calendar-like pages called Girly Girl.

Kids have such unique needs and helping my boys to manage their deadlines and appointments, I have created a set with them in mind.

Oh sure, if you want this for your planner, please use it. 

I just created it a little bit different and more whimsical. 

4 Tips to Use An Undated Student Planner

Here is how to use it:

  • First, it is undated so that means it can be used year after year. Well maybe what is first is the fact that it is colorful.  Lots and lots of color. You know my obsession with colorful planners.  Too, it starts with July and goes through June just like all my year round homeschooling planning forms do.
  • Then, it has a column to the right of the number to fill in the weekdays for that month.  Let your girls do that because once they start writing in their planner, they can claim ownership.  Just use the first letter or two of the weekday like this: “M” is Monday, “Tu” is Tuesday, and etc.
  • The next section for dates is different than our needs as teachers who plan.  It can be used to track deadlines, dates, or appointments if they have them or to fill in about field trips or things they want to journal.  It is a lot more flexible because sometimes they need more of a to-do list or a space to write about how they feel or about events coming up.  Also, one things that I notice with my boys is that they like to fill in events or journal after they happen.  So they really are not different than us in that respect. They probably have more to say and we as planners, have more things to fill in about upcoming events.  So that is the slight difference and my form reflects that little tweak.
  • So the larger box on the far right is big enough to track their notes for the week.  They can use a check off system by checking the colorful circles or just write down what they need to remember. This type of place allows your child to track his assignments.  As your kids get older, I know you will be assigning long term projects and part of shuffling adult size decisions is learning now to track them and write them down.

Free Student Planner

The calendar-like pages are more like a place to track tasks, notes and a space to keep their own calendar.

In the years past, I had just printed off a 2 page spread for the curriculum planner for my boys, but again students needs are quite different than ours.

They also need a place to doodle and this calendar-like set is so much more flexible. 

There is a box at the top of each month too where that they can doodle or they can use that box for writing in priorities for that month, depending on their age.

As your child gets older, priorities become a must as they juggle volunteering, working, learning to drive and doing school.

I love this new set for the girls and you know what that means. 

Yep, the Manly Man set is coming next for the guys.

I hope your daughters perk up a bit with their planners and again, if you like it, you know I love ya, so knock yourself out if you find this fits a need you have.

If you are going to use it, share with me how you think you will use it. I would love to hear how you use it too.

Edible Rock Cycle Fudge | Hands-on Rock Activities & Free Notebooking Pages

June 3, 2024 | 4 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

We really love to do rock activities that are easy. Also, look at my Free Earth Science Lapbook & Unit Study Ideas.

There are so many different hands-on activities to do when learning about rocks.

We did a Metamorphic Edible Rocks & Notebooking Pages activity a while back and today we decided to whip out an edible rock cycle fudge. (yum)

Edible Rock Cycle Fudge | Hands-on Rock Activities & Free Notebooking Pages

Your kids will love seeing the different processes of the rock cycle while making rock cycle fudge. This is great for your middle school kids to do.

Your kids will love seeing the different processes of the rock cycle while making rock cycle fudge. This is great for your middle school kids to do.

Make Edible Rock Cycle Fudge

Let the younger ones measure and stir the ingredients when they are not hot.

Edible Rock Cycle Fudge | Hands-on Rock Activities & Free Notebooking Pages

Otherwise, turn this activity over to your kids. Yes, easy activities are my style.

Let’s go. Here is what you need.

  • Microwave | two bowls (one needs to be microwave safe)
  • spatula
  • wax paper
  • thin cookie sheet
  • liquid and dry measuring cups
  • 1/2 cup silt (sweetened condensed milk)
  • 1/2 cup quartz crystals (sugar)
  • 1 T. sediment (softened butter)
  • 1 cup limestone pieces (marshmallows)
  • 1/4 cup or more sandstone pieces (we used walnuts because we love them, but pecans are fine too)
  • | 3/4 cup basalt pieces (chocolate chips)
  • 1/2 t. vanilla extract

Add the milk, sugar and softened butter in microwave safe mixing bowl and stir to mix. Set aside.

Edible Rock Cycle Fudge

In the second bowl combine the one cup of marshmallows, 1/4 cup of walnuts or pecan pieces, 3/4 cup of chocolate chips, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Edible Rock Cycle Fudge | Hands-on Rock Activities & Free Notebooking Pages

Place the mixing bowl with the milk, sugar, and butter in the microwave.

Microwave it three times for 45 seconds each.

After each time, take it out, stir, and microwave again.

Edible Rock Cycle Fudge | Hands-on Rock Activities & Free Notebooking Pages

After the third time, pour the marshmallows, walnuts and chocolate chips into the bowl.

Everything should start melting.

(By the way since the mixing bowl has been microwaved 3 times, it’s hot. So your kids may want to use an oven mitten.)

If it’s not hot enough and melting, stick it in the microwave again and give it a few more seconds.

Edible Rock Cycle Fudge | Hands-on Rock Activities & Free Notebooking Pages

Pour out onto wax paper which is placed on a cookie sheet and refrigerate overnight.

Or, if you’re like us and can’t wait that long, stick it in the freezer for a while and cheat.

Here are some questions to ask about the rock cycle.

  1. What is the rock cycle? It’s how rocks are formed, it’s how rocks breakdown, and it’s how rocks form into other rocks.
  2. How is the fudge similar to the rock cycle? (Magma is chocolate, different pieces are sediment and when it cools, it’s igneous rock.)
  3. What is sediment? (Metamorphic rocks can break down and turn into sediment).
  4. What happens when we apply heat to a sedimentary rock?
  5. What is magma?

Look at some other hands-on rock activities I’ve rounded up and love.

Sometimes you just need a homeschool science materials checklist to see what your missing in your science supplies. Also, look at my page Homeschool Planner for more free homeschool planner printables.

Besides, part of learning how to homeschool is doing all the fun hands-on science.

However, 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.

Homeschool Science Materials Checklist for your 7 Step DIY Free Homeschool Planner by Tina Robertson

So, 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.

For example, we love doing science and have used 365 More Simple Science Experiments with Everyday Materials more than one time through the years because we love to pick activities which interests us.

In addition, we love books like Janice VanCleave’s Big Book of Science Experiments because you can easily obtain other materials not found at home.

Household Products for Science at Home

Now, depending on which area of science, like earth science, chemistry, physical science or life science, you will need to have a few exact materials for a branch of science you focus on.

For instance, we add specific things we need and use Homeschool Science Tools.

In addition, Homeschool Science Tools has just kits if you don’t want to use a full science curriuclum.

Look at their science kits here to see your options.

So this list is a list of general things you will want to stock your home with.

It’s kind of a given too that you will eventually want a microscope and slides, but I noticed year after year I have collected some of the same things in home.

Reducing materials I seem to use year after year into this checklist, I’m hoping to keep you organized.

And not do like us by having to put a fun activity on hold until we make a run to the store.

I hate when that happens.

Also, I have a provided space on the free printable science material checklist so you can add unique items you’ll need for upcoming science lessons.

Too, another tip is to jot beside the product the total number of items you have. Sometimes I think I have more jars than I actually do.

This science checklist will help you to keep those items at home organized.
