A Homeschool Planner

Posted in Product Reviews

E-Book: The Schoolhouse PlannerI recently had a chance to review the new Schoolhouse Planner.  I love anything that will help me get organized so really enjoyed reviewing this product.  The Schoolhouse Planner is not only a homeschool planner but a household planner as well.  This is one of the best features!  Instead of flipping back and forth from my home planner to school planner everything is in one place.

Of course, it has lots of calendars:
- a 2008-2009 calendar
- month at a glance calendars in 2 page spreads
And handy lists such as:
- 08-09 holidays
- read the bible in a year schedule chart
It is sprinkled with homeschool articles:
- unit studies by Amanda Bennett
- hands-on history by Amy Pak
- homeschooling through high school by Janice Campbell
There is a huge section of planners for homeschooling - almost 50 various forms:
- annual plans
- curriculum planning sheets
- weekly planning pages
- homeschool goals
- evaluations, grades, and test scores
- logs for recording books read
It helps you keep all your important household information in one place:
- kitchen & measurements conversions charts
- things loaned and borrowed list (boy do I NEED this!)
- emergency contacts
- grocery, and menu planning logs
- household schedules for cleaning and chores (daily, weekly, and monthly)
- budget forms
It even has dinner recipes!
I could do without:
- The “Important US Documents” section.  These are easily found on the web and seemed out of place in a school year planner.  Maybe if I am studying US
history this year it would have been helpful.
- The cost.  It is more expensive than a lot of other planners I have looked at.
What I love:
- being able to customize my planner to fit my needs.  I only print what I want to use.
- except for the calendars, all the forms can be used for many years to come.  No need to buy a new planner each year.  So maybe the cost is not as high as it seems when you factor this in.
Overall, The Schoolhouse Planner is a great way for homeschooling moms to organize the two most important aspects of their lives – family and school!

We are a homeschooling family raising 4 boys in Virginia. This blog is mostly about anything relevant to raising boys or homeschooling in general - but every once in a while I can't help but add some nonsense from our daily life.

Quotes from the Boys

Josh: "Would you rather die or eat pizza for a year?" Um, let me think about that one!


Joseph: "Once I burped, sneezed, coughed, hiccupped, and farted all at the same time!" Now, only a boy could think that one up and think it is cool!
