Yes, my name is Sandra and I am an overplanner!! Or.....am I?
Well, I am PLEASED beyond PLEASED to announce that I have completely and totally planned all my son's school for the 2012/2013 school year. Seriously. Ok...well, I haven't planned the second half of his math. I haven't bought it yet. I am waiting until he needs it. AND, I haven't planned his reading because it is reader's choice...that is, I will give him a choice of 3 books at a time for him to choose to read. Add to that I cannot predict how fast he will read each book.
It is quite thrilling to know ahead of time what we need to get done this year...
The lesson plan is ready for each subject. I have not only made a lesson plan for the school year, but I have gone subject by subject and made binder inserts for each subject. He will have a binder for each subject where he will keep all his work.
AND, I even managed to find an excel spreadsheet that I can use to keep progress grades on. I LOVE IT!!
Now comes the next challenge. Doing the same for my daughter. Oh, how it was going to be SO MUCH EASIER for her this year. We were going with Monarch by Alpha and Omega Publications...everything is on the computer and it figures out her plan for her. BUT, we decided it was NOT a good idea for her and so now I am going through figuring out her curriculum (which I have pretty much figured out what she will do) and than AFFORDING to buy it SOON and than plan it out.
But, it is quite an accomplishment for me to have this done. I am very relieved that it has worked out. I look forward to assembling binders and arranging the room.
I would show you my lesson plan, but it is too large a file, unfortunately. Here is a screen shot of one week.
