Planning

  • I found Edu-Track online and thought it looked like really great software. Then I saw the purchase price... $59.00. Ouch! I know Homeschool Tracker offers a free download, but with my dial-up connection it will take several hours. I believe they will send me a CD for $8.95. So, I'm just throwing this question out there to see if there are any reviews on either of these or any others that you recommend.

  • I have a question for those who use Wordly Wise. How you do schedule it? I got book 3 for ds (6th grade). This is our first year using it and it is really just an added bonus for ds. His vocabulary is pretty good, so I am not sure he really needs this. Anyhoo, there is only 20 lessons, with five activites per lesson. Do you schedule out one activity per day and then finish the book early in the year? Do you begin the next book?

  • I have read Donna's ideas about planning for the year, but I was wondering about how closely you all really stick to the year's plans. What do you do if you have to adjust to reteach, etc.? I was wondering if you all plan this way only for the workbook-driven subjects or for all subjects. Do you think planning this way is easier than going week by week?

  • I've asked my husband to talk with the guys about when they plan on going so that I can plan on not doing school that week. I'll work with my daughter on stuff that is solely hers and areas where she needs a bit more help with. But with so much of our school being done with both together it makes no sense to do with her and then just have to redo when the guys come home. So August is all that I have done for now. How about the rest of you? Are you done with planning or do you have a lot more to do

  • Last night I stayed up to 2:30am scheduling the boy's english, latin, and spelling. I used Donna's one subject plannersin MSword. My hope is to copy and paste these onto the weekly schedules. At 2:00am I thought I was getting my second wind, so I decided to make bookmarkers for the first two lessons of spelling. At 2:30am I thought they looked really great. Nice and big for a fifth grader. ...

  • Does anyone know of a daily planner out there? I have found that some weeks it is just too complicated or difficult for me to plan a week or more at a time. also, right now, we are studying 6 days a week. It seems to be better for her to work for a shorter amount of time daily for more days.

  • Luckily, my boys are only prek and k, so if I am skipping something, it is not going to mess them up too much. The reason I am asking the question is that right now, I am pretty much looking through everything I have every day and pulling out what I want them to do for that day.
