Are you looking for a great way to get your home AND homeschool ready for the upcoming year? Do you have tons of great ideas rolling around in your head with no “special place” to write them down? If so, take a look at the 2010 Schoolhouse Planner. When I think of a planner, I think of a calendar. This is a calendar and so much more. You get calendars, recipes, grade sheets, lesson ideas, bible study guides, and many more charts and forms. There are four main sections in the planner:
- Monthly Features – things like tips, study ideas, resource links and recipes for each month of the year. I was really thrilled to see that the planner includes 12 gluten-free recipes. I love to be able to try new things with Tornado Boy!
- Calendars – annual, 2-page monthly and blank versions.
- Homeschool Forms for things like curriculum tracking, attendance, planning and grading.
- Household Forms for things like addresses, budgets, meal planning, and home inventory.
You can purchase an electronic copy of the planner from The Old Schoolhouse Store for $39.00. The planner is over 600 pages long, so if you’re on dial-up Internet access, you may want to consider purchasing the CD version for $44. Thankfully all of those pages are linked in the table of contents, so you can jump directly to the page that you want.
My very favorite thing about the planner is that you can type directly onto the planner pages using the free Adobe Reader software. I’m an electronic girl, so not having to resort to putting pen to paper is a big deal for me. My handwriting is pretty much like chicken scratch, so a neatly typed page really helps me. Of course, if you want to, you can print all or part of the blank planner if you choose.
One of the areas that I’m most excited to use is the one for menu planning. This is an area that I am totally committed to improving in our home for this year and the planner has several great forms to help me out with that goal:
Still not convinced? Be sure to download a free peek here. You’ll see about 1/10th of what is included in the planner, including the full table of contents so that you can get an idea of the broad range of content in the planner.
For today (August 15th) only, you can receive a free add-on of last years supplement modules with your purchase. Each of the 12 modules is filled with great unit study information that you can use in your homeschool.
Happy Planning!
