So excited to explore all the free museums and parks in our new city. Definitely lots more hands on learning for us this year.
Oh – I wish we had free museums here! Most of ours cost an arm and a leg, especially for families with several kids. Even the homeschool events are pretty pricey. But the park is always a good idea. 🙂 Thanks for visiting!
Thanks so much for including my household binder in your line-up! These all look great — can’t wait to check out some of the others 🙂
Great post,
Marie-Claire
Thanks for offering it as a resource! 🙂
We are using the Learning Adventures unit studies curriculum again this year. I will have a 1st, 3rd, and 5th grader. We only have to add grade-appropriate math, handwriting, and spelling to that curriculum. We do the bible, history, science, and literature lessons together.
I’ve never heard of Learning Adventures before! Heading off to check them out now. Thanks for visiting! 🙂
Thank you for including the Plan Your Year planner!
You’re welcome! Thanks for sharing it! 🙂
Selena, just found your blog. Thanks for sharing such cool stuff. I was wondering if you would mind posting a retrospect on the school that just ended. I especially want to hear about West Brooke Curriculum. How did it go? What was the best part of it? Worst? Anything you would do differently? Why? I’m researching it sand so far I really like what I see. But haven’t met anyone that’s used it. Anything you can share will be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Wanda
Hi! Thanks for visiting! I liked West Brooke a lot. It was very simple to use and it did a good job of covering all of the required subjects. I already had the Core Knowledge series, so it was really easy to implement the curriculum each day. The only downside for me is that it was a little dry. Since I have ADHD learners, I had to spice it up a bit with games, songs, and crafts, but it was an excellent spine for the year. But I would have to do that with any program, even the more expensive ones. And you can’t beat that price. 🙂
My plan is to stay on track and try to get in some “grade ahead” work too. I have ADD & my son has ADHD & dyslexia so a planner would be wonderful
I’m so glad you stopped by! Both my husband and I have ADD, our 9 yo has ADHD, our 5 yo has ADD, and our 4 yo has ADHD. Plus, there’s some sensory issues going on too. I totally understand the need for a plan. I’ll be sharing more posts about our experience with active learning this year. 🙂 Thanks for visiting!
Hi Selena. Thank you for including our planner from Donna Young in your round-up. Will be sharing it on my Everything Homeschooling Pinterest board and on my Facebook page. 🙂
Julie
Thanks! It’s a great resource for using those pages to put together a DIY planner. 🙂
We are entering the wonderful work of high school this year. We’re doing Ancient History, Biology, Intro to Lit and Composition, Algebra 2, and probably a computer programming class.
I have to be honest. High school scares me. I didn’t have a great experience with my homeschool high school program and I’ve completely forgotten all of the advanced math and science I used to know. And our oldest is going into fourth grade this year, so I’ve got about four years to get it together…lol. Thanks for visiting! 🙂
This is going on our fourth year of homeschooling. I homeschool our three kids. My plans include making sure we stay diligent on doing our school work and staying on track. Also I would like to plan more field trips to go on. 🙂
I’d love to do more field trips too! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Thank you for this great list of free homeschool planners! I have been researching planners in hopes that I will find something that will help me be more organized 😉 I’ve pinned this list so I can go through it.
Yay! I hope you find something here that’s a good fit for your family! 🙂
This year with both 1st and 6th graders and a new baby, I am hoping to use a curriculum that will incorporate multiple grades together. We’ll see how it goes, and I would love a planner to help keep me organized. Thanks for the chance to win, and for all the other great options too. One way or another I will figure out a planner to use before the end of next week.
Congratulations on your new addition! Unit studies are excellent for multiple grades. We’ll have fourth grade, first grade, and K this year, and we’ll be using more unit studies in our lessons too. Thanks for visiting! 🙂
I’m not a homeschooler, but I’m entering for my sister who homeschools her two children. 🙂
Yay! Thanks for visiting! 🙂
This year will be our first going back to homescholling after being in regular school for a few years – should be interesting and fun
It’s great that you have the opportunity to bring them back home. Hope you all enjoy learning together this year. Thanks for visiting! 🙂
I am looking forward to studying medieval history with my DDs and ending the year with a trip to the medieval re-enactment place a few hours away from us.
I love the Middle Ages! Knights of the Round Table, ladies in waiting, castles, royalty – it’s got it all! Thanks for visiting! 🙂
We will be supplementing with Classical Conversations this year.
Many, many homeschoolers I know have spoken very highly of Classical Conversations. I love classical education, but I’m honestly afraid to try it with my kids…lol. I have The Well-Trained Mind and I was pretty overwhelmed by the methodology, especially because we’re dealing with ADD/ADHD/SPD in our family. I’d love to know how you like the program! Thanks for visiting! 🙂
We are going to be planning for a fun year..learning to obey first time..
Obedience is a major topic for us this year too…lol.
I will be starting to homeschool my son this year. Although he is only in preschool, we are excited for a fun and exciting year.
Congratulations! Hope you have a great first year!
i do not home school but my daughter has an IEP and this looks like it could help
I am just starting to homeschool my preschool age son this school year. This would be a wonderful tool for me to plan with.
It’s my first year homeschooling and I’m really looking forward to it. I have one that is starting PreK and another that will be following big sister’s lead and doing his own “tot school”. 🙂 We’re using the A Beka curriculum this year.
This will be the first year that I formally hs my youngest son. Am still sifting through all the amazing ideas out there. Am positive I will be using a main theme to cover all aspects of the curriculum requirements. Once i have 3 or 4 themes, I’ll ask him which he’d prefer. Would love to do nature or world cultures.
World Cultures is such a fun topic!
Thanks so much for including my printable planning pages. This is a great list of resources; thanks for putting it together!
