Frontier Mom Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Susan mentioned having them keep a calendar and planner individually. Anyone have a favortie or should I just make my own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liza Q Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 We like High School Home School Daily Planner - http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?item_no=827002&event=1016HSO|1180474|1016#curr It is set up for 52 weeks, which is great as we do some school over the summers so we can't fit everything into the 40 or so weeks that other planners have.

Liz CA Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Franklin Covey has spiral-bound dayminders for High School/College and I think even for younger kids, like Elementary School age. Our Office Depot also had a commendable collection to choose from and they were a little less expensive than Franklin Covey. For myself, I love Franklin Covey.

Vida Winter Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I just started using an Excel planner from Donna Young's site; you plug in the date and it has pre-formatted spreadsheets for up to 9 subjects, with the date across the top, for six weeks. Six weeks is about all I can fathom for planning ahead, so this is working out well for me. I do about a week at a time. I've got a spreadsheet going for each of my children. If you have Excel, I'd recommend it highly. It has the features of a planner and calendar all in one, and it's free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 What we prefer is those large, 2' square or so plain wall planners with big 3" by 3" squares, lined, for every day. One page for a month. I have one and dd14 has one, on the wall facing our desks.She has a lot of Scouting activities and friend activities to keep track of. It's so visual that with a glance you can see whats coming up. Also great for Flylady stickers. And it only costs about $5 or $7 Au. I have found that diaries either get lost under piles of papers on the table, or simply dont get opened.

Frontier Mom Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 This looks really neat. Does it also have a calendar for daily appts, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontier Mom Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 Would you recommend one for your elementary aged children? I am thinking just middle & high school for calendar. I use a planner for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Picked up 2 of these this weekend at the homeschool convention--$3.95, spiral bound, nice color on the pages. I found it right after I paid $9.50 for the high school one someone mentioned above. It is for 40 weeks. Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenn in Mo Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 For my middle schooler, I use my own planning forms but have him record his day and week in this: http://www.notgrass.com/homeschool-record-keeping-learning-lifestyle.php I'm wanting him to learn to pay better attention to details and to be able to see what he's learned rather than just what he's finished.

Frontier Mom Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 I actually just found one of these I never used!! Yep, I had actually bought two at a Teacher's Express type store (name?) by a different company which cost about 4 times as much. Opened them up and what do you know? The pages inside are identical! I'm planning on using those but not sure what to use for a daily/monthly calendar. Right now I just keep one on my computer and print it off. I might just stay at this for a while until they need something more individualized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
