The Schoolhouse Planner

I am so excited to share with you a product that I recently reviewed.. The product was created by The Old Schoolhouse. I get their magazine- it is my favorite homeschooling magazine. The product is The Schoolhouse Planner. After browsing through the planner I am even more excited to get started on our school year. Each month there is something new to teach the children- already put together for you. Great facts to pass on to your children during your school time. Sure makes our job a whole lot easier. There is also a helpful article for us Moms- to help us in our teaching duties every month. The articles cover different topics- math, science, history, art, unit studies etc.. Then to round it all out they list links for more books, ebooks, and other items that they carry on their website available for purchase- that goes right along with that months theme. The monthly calendar contain nice large blocks for you to fill in right there on your computer- yep.. you do not have to print out anything if you do not want to.. you can fill it all in on the computer- leave it there or print it out already filled in.. How cool is that??!! How about a new recipe or to try out during the month? Right there at the end of every month.
All of the above was great enough, then I got to the end of the year and realized that there were so many more pages to go through.. Pages upon pages of homeschooling forms.. for everything you could ever imagine. You will be the most organized homeschooling parent! Then came the household forms.. I am one disorganized homemaker, I will be the first to admit that. With these forms I can feel like Martha Stewart. Everything from the pantry to the garden will be organized. Menu forms, chore lists, Bible reading charts and so much more!
I have had planners- many planners and this one surpasses them all. You are getting what I love about the Old Schoolhouse Magazine within the pages of a yearly planner. You will receive encouragement in your teaching and creative ideas to use in your schooling each month. The household pages are what I feel are missing from a regular planner- I am not a career woman, I am a housewife and mother, I need a planner that works for me. This one is it. For those of you who need portfolios and the like for your school districts- this has it all when it comes to keeping track of your child's education. You will knock the socks off of whomever you have to turn in your portfolios to.
I have several favorites when it comes to this planner- first, I love the fact that you can type in all of your information right on the computer before printing them out. That is so cool. Secondly, I love the monthly factoid pages.. full of all kinds of neat facts to pass on to your children- right at your fingertips. Whether it is the periodic table of elements or a list of all of the presidents of the United States. How about a list of all of the greatest artists, where they are from and what they are most known for? Yep.. great stuff each month to teach the children without all of the research. Thirdly, I love all of the household forms at the end of the planner. Everything a housewife needs to keep organized and on top of things. I could go on and on.. In my opinion you can go wrong with anything by The Old Schoolhouse to begin with but this one takes the cake.. You will not be disappointed in purchasing this planner. In my opinion, in 10 years of homeschooling I have never found a homeschooling planner to be this good. It covers everything, helps you get organized in every area, and helps you along in your homeschooling journey.
