2016 Free Year Round Homeschool Planning Schedule – Free 7 Step Homeschool Planner.

September 22, 2015 | Leave a Comment
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

Scooting right along because I like to always stay ahead, I have ready today the second choice for the 2016 Free Year Round Homeschool Planning Schedule – Free 7 Step Homeschool Planner.

I always like to remind you, but I have several different calendar-like pages, but each is very different.

For example, to help keep you organized for appointments like field trips, homeschool co-ops and every day appointments, I have the 2 page spread monthly calendars, which gives you way more room to plan and to look at one two page at a glance.

This free year round homeschooling planning schedule is not for that though. This year round homeschool planning schedule is to use to highlight, mark off or circle days that you want to homeschool.

It also has a place to track the days and weeks you homeschool each month. Tracking your days and weeks of school is very useful whether you live in a place that has strict record keeping or not.

For example, I have tracked my days and weeks for many years just because I want to know how much we are covering each year. Too, when you school year round, it helps you to gauge the amount of time you make want to take off from school.

Even if you don’t school year, just start on the month you do start your school and track from that point. The schedule is very flexible.

At the end of the form, it has a comprehensive key so that you can calculate your actual days and weeks of homeschooling.

I love doing this each year because it helps me to see how much more I am doing than I actually think I am doing.

I hope you enjoy the newest color choice. You can download it below.

2016 Physical Year Calendar –2 Pages Per Month At A Glance. Dreaming Option

August 19, 2015 | 4 Comments

2016 Physical Year Calendar Dreaming 2 Pages at a Glance @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool PlusToday, I am sharing the 2016 Physical Year Calendar –2 Pages Per Month At A Glance with you. It is the dreaming option.

You know how sometimes you do something and then you realize it is a keeper?

After many of you have emailed me asking where is the 2016 option for this dreaming color combination, I decided to bring it back for 2016.

What I am so passionate about in my 7 Step Homeschool Planner is to keep it ever changing with color options and functions.

That is part of the reason I luv using it each year.  But some things, like this color combination makes my heart go pitter patter too.

So I brought it back as an option for you for 2016.

Curriculum Pages for Planner

Each month has a different color for the month name and on the note section, I kept the background white and bright.

It has a top right section, which is a task list.

Separating that from the bottom section which is more of a to do list for the month, it helps to divide priorities.

I tend to keep a running lists for tasks whether they are due that month or not.  And my to do for the month at the bottom is just that, things that need to get done by that particular month.  I think the reason I put that list at the bottom is that I am hoping it will go away too. {ha ha}

Whether you want to add an academic school year that runs from July to June {find them here on STEP 2. Option 2} or this physical year calendar for 2016 or you’re obsessed and using both like me, you decide what works for your unique planner.

Guess what? You can get it now for .99 cents!

Ultimate Homeschool Planner – It’s HERE! Glam It Up Package

July 31, 2015 | 6 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

Glam It Up Homeschool Planner. Beautiful color pages, awesome detailed and timeless! Scoot by to grab it @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Planner

I can’t believe my newest baby is finally here. For months and months I have been working on the ultimate homeschool planner.

I know it’s a shameless plug calling it the ultimate homeschool planner, but I am absolutely in love with my newest planning pages.

ULTIMATE HOMESCHOOL PLANNER – SHAMELESS!

Creating it took me longer than I wanted to, but that is all my own fault.

First, I have never been good with accepting *just okay* and I know I do it to myself when I want it perfect working perfectly.

Mostly, though my heart has to be in my planners. This year my heart has seen some major changes like the move of Mr. Senior 2013 to New York and Mr. Awesome 2015 graduating.

I am not so tough to tell you that I have had many tears, though they have been happy ones, it is still quite an adjustment for me this year.

It took me a while to feel sorry for myself adjust to my new year.

Putting my heart back into my planners, I got excited about the new year by creating this brand spanking new and beautiful homeschool planner. I can’t wait to use it this year.

First, this is something different than what I have now. It is a package.

No, not complete package like most people might think because I don’t believe in boring planners with tons of matchy matchy pages and given to you in one huge download.

My purpose in making this Glam It Up package is to give you just a few pages that are matching and that will jump start you to create the perfect planner.

It is not my intention to make every page you may want because then the power to create what you need each year leaves you.

The strongest feature of the 7 Step Homeschool Planner is to empower you to choose exactly what you need and to avoid one download of only match-y match-y pages that are both boring and possibly useless.

Like me, you want your planner to stay unique and to build it with the needs of your children in mind each year.

With a basic framework, like the Glam It Up package, you can still add both free pages and forms you purchase at each step to create an awesome planner.  Be sure to grab one of the 2 page per month awesome calendars.

Ultimate Homeschool Planner is a 190 page download and includes:

  • 1 Unique Cover
  • 1 Inside Title Page
  • 4 Tab Top Dividers
  • 2 Attendance Forms (one with semesters and one without semesters labeled)
  • and 180 Lesson Planning Pages with the subjects filled in & 8 Photo Pages

All pages are in full color and undated.

Guess what? You can get it today for just $4.99.

Look at my Main Shop Page for pictures of each form too and a more detailed description if you need it. (I know you want to see lots of pictures of it.)

7 Step Homeschool PlannerGlam It Up Homeschool Lesson Planning Pages @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

My lesson planning pages are my signature style and I wanted to share these things that changed on it.

  • 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.

What do you think? Have you made your homeschool planner yet?

Hugs and love ya and hope you love this planner as much as I already do.

Homeschool Planning Form – Free 2015 to 2016 Year Around School Planning Form

2015 to 2016 Year Around School Planning Breeze @ Tina's Dynamic Homeschool Plus

The glam package is almost ready and I wanted to create a new choice for the year around school planning form to kind of match my new planner.

Today, I have the new form and I am calling it breezes.

Curriculum Pages for Planner

I have the other two color choices for the year round school planning, which can be found on Step 5a of the 7 Step Homeschool Planner.

One reason that I don’t use plain calendars for planning my school is because I prefer to use the 2 Page Appointment Keeper.

The 2 Page Appointment Keeper is a 2 page spread and has bigger boxes for noting dates and appointments.

The form I have today is for you to track and plan your homeschooling weeks and days.

Though you don’t have to use it this way, I made it year round because a lot of us do homeschool year round.

At the end of the form, it has a comprehensive key so that you can calculate your actual days and weeks of homeschooling.

I love doing this each year because it helps me to see how much more I am doing than I actually think I am doing.

I hope you enjoy the newest color choice. You can download it below.

Download breezes here.

Hugs and love ya,

Tina Signature 2015c

If You Need A Homeschool Planner If You Are Figuring Out Your Own Curriculum? Dynamic Reader Question

January 14, 2015 | 16 Comments
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

I am eager to answer your dynamic reader’s questions because all of your questions are just the best.  Too, I couldn’t wait to dig into answering this dynamic reader question if you need a homeschool planner if you are figuring out your own curriculum.

Leesha said:

“I’m curious, do moms generally need planners if they are figuring out their own curriculum?  I read so much about planners but I’m a little stymied…I’m just not sure how or why I would use one.  I use a few different curriculi that pretty much map out exactly what we need to do (or I just decide, ie. math–4 pages per day kind of thing). We generally figure out at the start of the year which subjects need to be done however many times per week and we’ll write that down to reference until it’s memorized. I’m just wondering if I’m missing out on something important I should be doing?”

There are many reasons why you would use a planner and just as many ways deciding how to use it.

WHEN A HOMESCHOOL PLANNER ROCKS

Whether you are using one curriculum completely or making your own lesson plans, there are 3 reasons worth considering using a planner.

  • When a Planner is more Journal than Planning. One feature of planners that is not given enough attention is the journaling or record keeping part of it.

In the beginning when I used a planner I was using more put together curriculum. Each day, I wrote down what we did for the day.

What we did for the day versus what was in the lesson plan often times ended up being totally different things. Some days, we did more and other days we struggled to complete even one lesson.

A huge advantage to plotting each of my children’s day was that a picture emerged of their strengths and weakness. For example, I could see how much one son was actually not completing in math because of his struggle with the subject.

In the future this know-how helped me to determine a pace good for him when I switched programs or when I started doing all my own lesson planning.

Little did I know that my journaling in the beginning would help me to not only keep a good pulse on what we were able to do each day, but to track my children’s progress.

  • Completion versus Comprehension. That brings me to the second benefit I have received, which is understanding the difference between a child completing a lesson plan (in laid out curriculum or not) or comprehending.

When I used boxed curriculum, I started making notations on side margins in the teacher’s manual of what my sons struggled with and did not master or comprehend even though the lesson was completed.

The next year, I would hunt for those notes to reread because it was important to me to see if my sons were progressing.

However, as organized as I tried to be, it was tough to put my hands-on the correct teacher’s manual because of the numerous amounts of teacher’s manual that grew each year.

It was just too hard to keep everything from one year and not overflow with clutter.

I realized that having my notes for all my kids in one spot to jot down my concerns, write about my fears with tears, be specific in my notes about what was not understood in one subject and jump for joy when learning took giant steps forwarded was a must for me.

One book per year for all my children was a much more streamlined process because I could easily glance back at my thorough notes.

  • Planner or Self-Checking Teacher Tool. My planner became a self-checking tool for me as a teacher because I could check for mastery and push myself, when needed, outside of my comfortable teaching zone because my notes were so clear.

I couldn’t blame anybody else for my lack of teaching ability because I had jotted down so carefully what didn’t work for my children.

The accomplishments in their learning can’t be minimized either because I jotted them down too.

Each year when I got discouraged, I would go back and read my notes. Part of my dogged determination to not returning to public school was reading about those tiny celebrations in my planner.

You know what I am talking about. Those light bulb moments for your children that are small but monumental and that only another teaching parent can understand. When a child reads his first word, then sentence, then paragraph, then chapter book, you can’t keep that excitement bottled up. For me, it started with reading my notes in my planner.

I didn’t need the approval of anybody else to homeschool because I wasn’t just checking off boxes on a teacher’s manual, I was tracking the progress of my sons from PreK to High school by daily journaling.

I can’t personally answer for each homeschooler what works best for them to see both a big picture and fine details when it comes to the progress of each child.

I just know what has worked for me and it is hard at times to just use the word planner because it implies that one is using a planner only for purposes of planning when in fact it can be so much more.
Whatever you decide, whether it’s using an app, typed out or hand-written, a planner should be a tool that fits your personality, brings a breath of fresh air to your day and should be molded to fit the way you want to track not just lessons, but forward momentum.

Hugs and love ya,
