Moxie Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 We're slowly getting things put away in our new house. I have clear plastic boxes for all the school stuff (human body puzzle, president flashcards, maps, etc.) and all the boxes are put away in a closet. BUT, I know me well enough to know that I will forget about the human body puzzle when we're studying the human body. I'll find it at the end of the year and kick myself. What do I do?? Would EverNote help?? I keep seeing the name come up but I'm a paper-and-pencil gal so I haven't jumped in yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.m Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Put a Post-it note in the teacher manual or whatever you are using to introduce or teach that topic to remind yourself to pull it out of the closet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for the step before that. When I'm planning on studying the human body, without going through all the boxes, how do I remember what I have? Tape a list to the closet door?

journey00 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Wish there was an app for that! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.m Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I'd tape a list to the closet door and label what it is in the boxes carefully. When you are planning, make a checklist of your planning steps that includes checking your supplies in that closet. If you want to tinker with Evernote, go ahead but I think you should work within the framework you are comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilaclady Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 At the start of the year, when I know what we are studying say life science, I go through all my school stuff and pull all the life science stuff out, I put them all on the bookshelf and they are available for me to grab. This year, we are studying medieval history so I have all my medieval books and stuff out on one level so I can grab it when we get there. I have a level on the bookshelf that is just for what we are studying each semester so that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5LittleMonkeys Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Can you just create a master list in excel...or on paper...with all of your "stuff" catagorized by subject/topic? When you are planning your subjects check your list, copy and paste your resources to a document, print it, laminate it and use it as your bookmark in your spine, text, teachers manual,or whatever it is that you pull out and refer to each time you do that subject.

happypamama Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I've heard of using Pinterest for this -- make a board for "human body" and one of the pins could be the puzzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Yes, Evernote should help with that. I have categories by academic subject for go-alongs. I just started one for Astonomy as my dd would like to study that this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
