Why one child needs a different planner
Most homeschool planners are built for a full kitchen table. With one student the core lessons often fit in one to two hours, and you are the teacher, the classmate and the playmate all at once. This planner gives every page room for one student and adds a whole section for the parts no curriculum covers: the afternoons, your own breaks, and the friendships your child is growing.
What's inside, 35 pages
Start here
How to use it, a page for why you chose to homeschool (read it on hard days), and Meet my student, filled in together in the fall and again in the spring.
Plan the year
Year at a glance, a term planner, curriculum and resources, a monthly calendar with room for people time, and a five-page reading log.
Plan the week
Our short school day with an example day, a weekly plan with afternoon plans and who you'll see, a daily page, and My work, all by myself, an independent checklist for your student.
Afternoons and friendships
The afternoon menu, boredom busters for ages 5 to 7, 8 to 10 and 11 to 12, games and projects for two, Mom's break plan, peer time, our people and a people-time tracker.
Records
Attendance with 180 boxes, two pages of hours by subject for every day, a portfolio checklist by term and our year in review.
Made to print
US letter, undated, so you can start in August, January or any month. Print any page as many times as you like for your own household.
The answer to "but what about socialization?"
Count people time, not just school time. The people-time tracker and the Our week with people page add up the hours your child spends with other kids at co-op, church, sports, the library and the park. It is your proof for curious relatives, and your nudge when a month gets quiet.
