ReplyDeleteI like to use an online planner and an offline teacher's planner together. Since I recently got an iPad, I will be utilizing it more, using the free planner from USAB on my computer and perhaps the reminders app.

DeleteI am a horrible planner! This year I am holding myself more accountable and going to be more structured. I am enjoying reading everyone's responses. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI have liked home educating planners. I am bad at planning though ;)
ReplyDeleteI do not do well with planning. I want to get more organized. I bought a cheap(dollar section at Target) teacher planner and tried to use it, but didn't stick with it too long.

ReplyDeleteCalendar, highlighters, pens, pencils with BIG erasers! LOL!p2a2@me.com
ReplyDeleteI start after Christmas with a pencil and notebook. I write what is working and what is not down. Then i set it aside until the end of March. At that time, I review what I wrote in December and then make a final plan and material list on the computer. This the sits until May for fine tuning.

I get out the books I plan to use, and figure out how i want to divide it up along with our unit studies!
ReplyDeleteDgerth @insight.rr .com
I look through what I already have, then make a list of what I still need.
ReplyDeleteI use a teacher's lesson plan book with wide spaces to write in under each day. I then divide the space into sections for each child. I also keep all grades in this book. Everything is in one place! Oh-and a cup of coffee always helps with the planning! :).

I sit down with a calendar and a weekly student planner and start there. I never plan too in depth because in the years we've homeschooled, things have never turned out the way I initially plan. ;)
