Pink Fairy Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Beautiful job! :thumbup: I'm working on my plans for next year--it seems so complicated now that I have four in school, I'll be lucky to finish before September... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blossom'sGirl Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I am not very spreadsheet savvy. My schedules consist of hand written ideas in a cheap spiral notebook. I did take the time and make a Word document which I print each week and pencil in the boys' work for each subject. Just that took me forever. In fact, I am just going to edit the subject and use the same thing next year. I will not even begin planning my subjects till after the 4th of July.

Crissy Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 My schedules consist of hand written ideas in a cheap spiral notebook. As do mine. Actually, if my many scraps of paper make it into a notebook we're really starting to get organized! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I'm so antsy to get started on my plans for next year. I have almost all of our materials on hand, but I always force myself to finish assembling my son's portfolio for this year before I let myself start on the fun stuff--planning! Today is supposed to be our last day of the year, and I'm actually ahead of schedule with the portfolio. But I can't finish until he finishes, and he's dragging his feet. So, we may not be able to wrap up until sometime next week. It's torture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

workingmom Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Liz, how do I see your weekly planner. I linked to it from your blog but then I got this savefile program. I just want to open without creating an account. I like that format. Did you use Donna Young or make your own. For the others do any of you use Excel or Mac i works to make your weekly schedule, if so please post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made my own in Excel, but I like yours better. :001_wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PollyOR Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 :iagree: Beauuuutiful, Liz!!! I've made similar pages with Microsoft Word by making a "table." Of course, mine don't look nearly as beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HFClassicalAcademy Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 I made the planner using Word and just created 2 tables. After fixing them to my liking, I had them printed front and back (book style). I think I had to make an extra copy of the first page or something for it to turn out right. I actually did try Donna Young and some others, but none of them really "fit" me. This one works because I can just pencil things in daily or weekly (in case we're behind or ahead). When you go to savefile, you just click on the download button. I didn't think that you needed to sign up to the website. If it doesn't work for you, let me know! I'd be happy to email them to you and you can alter the subjects to what you use. ;) Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hisleading Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I have not read all the posts yet, but does everyone use a planner like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaid Dad Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 does everyone use a planner like this? I've been using a standard blank teacher's planner from Staples. It only has room for five days in the week, though, and since we often do "schooly stuff" on the weekends as well, I'd love a planner with space for seven days' activities.

Kim in SouthGa Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 the form is there, but obviously the details are still in progress. I made this on a Mac using MS Word. Just click on the link in my signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem. All the planners I saw were only 5 days and never had enough space. Making my own was the only solution! Now I have 7 days and a small column for notes.

Kim in SouthGa Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 my older dd had a ball dressing her up! I just put a much better picture of my planner up, using scribd. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the file on my blog where you just click it and it gets bigger. I could only get it up by saving it as a jpg and uploading it as a picture. Anyway, scrbd worked great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PollyOR Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I rarely follow my plans :glare:, so I've found it best to have a general plan/routine and then write down what we actually did. Here is what I use At-A-Glance Academic Planner . It is spendy, but I like it because it has an equal amount of space for all seven days. I use the "quick notes" square to write down the subjects I cover with the girls each day (general routine). It is my reminder list for this 40 something brain that tends to forget what subjects we haven't gotten to yet that day. I still like to make tables, though. It can be kind of addicting. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
