Easiest Lesson Planning EVER!

By
We start school on Thursday (with our public school schedule).

On Sundays I write out our weekly lesson plans on individual lesson plan pages.

Last year it would take me well over an hour or so to get it all together, searching through each subject and searching for additional activities.

Today I planned both kids' lessons for the two days in minutes! Why? Because I have spent a good part of the summer planning each subject, writing out a general schedule, and putting all required worksheets and instructions (with books lists, dvd lists, activities, etc.) in individual subject binders.

So all I did today is grab each binder as I got to that subject, flipped it open, wrote down on the planner what I had pre-planned for that day, and put it away.

Oh, I am so glad I am prepared this year! I don't know what I would do if I had to prepare from scratch.

It's going to be a great one!

A good plan is like a road map: it shows the final destination and usually the best way to get there.~ H. Stanley Judd

    Yay!!! I am still entering lesson plans in to Homeschool Tracker. Once they are done I can print them all out to put in my lesson plan binders. I can't wait!

ABCya

By
Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.
