I'm actually thinking about cannibalizing it for the rest of the year into my new planner. I'll have to completely destroy it for that. I like the idea of having kids learn to keep up with their own planning and I think we'll work that in eventually.Hyppychickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16184776813308140123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302811873672152993.post-31745793397295776362014-01-02T12:53:25.556-05:002014-01-02T12:53:25.556-05:00I get a paper student planner for tracking homesch...I get a paper student planner for tracking homeschool lessons. Each day has 12 full lines. The older kid's lessons go on the left side of each day, the younger kid's lessons go on the lower right side, and my personal agenda goes on the upper right (i.e. compile list of library books, plan menu, dental appt, thaw frozen food, etc.). I also write appts and outings on the monthly calendar page, so I can see my general schedule for the month at a glance. I foresee a day when I'll have to buy a second planner just for the younger kid. I'm hopeful that the older one will be in charge of her own planner by then. Anyway, every weekend I write out the lessons to be done that week. Sometimes that gets done on Friday afternoon, but sometimes it gets put off until Sunday evening. On the rare days that the older kid doesn't finish everything on the daily schedule, I simply write that assignment in on the next day's agenda. If not everything is done by bedtime on Friday, she knows she'll have to do school on Saturday. We average Saturday school about twice a semester, and usually that's due to an illness or having family in town, not slacking off. Anyway, the $10-15 for a student planner each year has saved my sanity many times over. Paper planners can't easily be "edited" by students and are highly unlikely to ever be stolen.Ruthearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342804027929839858noreply@blogger.com
