mom31257 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 If you keep a notebook for yourself, what do you include? I've always used one to keep track of lesson plans and our required attendance forms. I'd like some ideas to make it even more useful. Thanks for sharing!

ubermomto5 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 there was just a thread about this on the curriculum boards and i got a few more ideas...i love to have a 'goals and focus' page for each child to keep in mind what i'm aiming to do. i also have a page for each that has subject down the left, books and plans down the right, so i can quickly glance to see the general overview.

Dayle in Guatemala Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I love my notebook! The first thing in it is our vision and goals for our school. Basically, why do we homeschool and how do we plan on doing it. I also have individual goals for each child. I have a section where I keep track of what books they have each read to include in their end-of-year notebook for that grade. I have our daily and monthly schedules in there. I also include a section for ideas for next year, or ways to beef up the year we're in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen sn Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Mine is divided into subject sections. English, math, history, science. In the English section I have all the parts of speech defined and listed. Like pronoun takes the place of a noun and I, me, my, mine, etc.... Math - I have the Roman Numeral key and Michele's Math. History - my little summary of each section we have covered on the ancients. Science - whatever we have covered. I use it to review, which we do a lot. Then I have a second section with those subjects where I keep the online worksheets I have printed and want to use. At the back of the notebook are my weekly view sheets. Every week I print out my weekly sheet and every day I write down what we have done. I do very little planning. Monday night I might write down the things I want to do Tuesday. I do have a broad plan in my mind. Like we *are* doing Latin roots and ancient history and Michele's Math, etc.... But I could never plan my days a year in advance. Life is too unexpected and then I would be lost if I couldn't stick to my plan. I never feel behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
