5 Awesome Homeschool Planning Resources for Busy Moms

If you’ve already gotten your homeschool planning done for this year, you are my hero. (Needless to say, I am nowhere NEAR finished.)

Even though I’m finished with my college experience, I find that I am still so, so busy! And I think most moms are. It can easily feel like we just do not have enough time in the day to plan our homeschool lessons, especially if we’re parenting more than one child.

So I’m excited to share 5 awesome homeschool planning resources for busy moms today!

Today is also another edition of the Laugh and Learn linky, so you can check out our features from last week and read the newest posts shared below!

5 Awesome Homeschool Planning Resources for the Busy Mom

Creating a Schedule That Works – Marlene Griffith

Need to get your life together in a hurry? Marlene explains how you can go from unscheduled to scheduled in just 12 days. Since homeschooling parents need a schedule that everyone can stick with, she also talks about starting with a clearly defined purpose. That way, you have an overall goal to keep in mind as you stick with your routine.

Blueprint Homeschooling – Amy Kneppers

Amy’s book is a really great way to outline your entire year in advance. Yes, I mean, your ENTIRE year. She includes exercises you can complete as you read to help you get a feel for the rhythm of your home and how homeschooling can fit naturally into the life you already lead.

Homeschool Planner – Jolanthe Erb

If you want to have one homeschool planner you can use year after year, Jolanthe’s planner is the one. This homeschool planner is composed of editable PDFs, so you can type in this year’s lessons and then print them when you’re finished. Next year, you can do it all over again!

Homeschool Planner 2015-16 – Patricia Espinoza

Do you want a pretty paper planner that makes you feel happy to plan lessons? (I do.) Patricia’s Homeschool Planner is so beautiful that looking at it just makes me feel better. You can print the pages you need, skip the ones you don’t, and get to planning your year peacefully.

Planning Your Best Homeschool Year – Kyle McVay

One of the issues with homeschool planning is that we can get so focused on covering the material or finishing our curriculum that we forget to consider our kids! Kyle’s book is excellent for helping parents consider their kids learning styles right from the beginning. There’s no point in planning a homeschool year your kids will hate, right?

 

And now, it’s linky time!
