For this upcoming school year, I am trying the organizational system designed by Shower of Roses. I used that mother's template for designing the curriculum with quarterly goals (which goes in my teacher's binder) and the generalized weekly check lists.
While at Target, I saw inexpensive little cork boards, so I got one for each child, then had the children decorate their own name plates. On the cork boards, I will tack the weekly check list of lessons we hope to complete in order to stay on track. Based on the suggestion at Shower of Roses, I have kept the check lists general, such as "one reading lesson per week plus daily practice" instead of specific, such as "Reading Lesson 12."
| John (first grade) is the only one who will really need a check list for his lessons, but I also made one for Mary (preschool) because is of the age to want to copy everything John does. | 
 
 
Awesome! Jessica has so many good ideas! I always find her blog very inspirational.
ReplyDeleteYou are getting so good at this, you should shunt your homeschooling posts off into their own homeschooling idea blog & monetize it!
