 The less time you spend inventing the wheel, the more family time you'll enjoy! For Teachers... Some states require 180 "school" days each year. Thankfully, New Hampshire has no such requirement! However, my family enjoys a good summer vacation, as well as a week off each quarter for planning and regrouping. I plan our yearly schedule with a school year calendar. Everyone loves "extra curricular activities," but with multiple children they add up quickly. This summer, try plotting your family's activities on a weekly schedule and living with it a while. Do you break out in cold sweats? Is there no time for play? Build in some margin! Your first couple homeschool conventions can be overwhelming. I use my curriculum planning blank to help me focus on subjects (or curricula) that I need more information on. It also keeps me from being distracted by the many "other" wonderful programs out there... If it ain't broke, don't fix it! For Students... You might not be big on grades, but there are a lot of reasons to give your child a report card. They provide tangible feedback, impress grandparents, and get free tokens at Chuck E. Cheese! Our blank report cards have plenty of space for non-letter grades, so they're perfect for the less structured homeschooler. Note taking can be a tricky skill to learn. I've broken it down into the six traditional questions and designed a simple worksheet that can be used for virtually any topic. Enjoy! In case your student need a little positive reinforcement, or perhaps just some handwriting practice, here are some great lines. I do retain ownership of these works, but feel free
to use them for your own personal and/or educational use(s). |
