Looking at planners wondering if anybody has a favorite? Leaning towards the ultimate homeschool Planner by Debra Bell. Does anybody have it? I also like some of the elan planners - I am familiar with them from my son's private school which had them use one. They have student and teacher ones.
The Ultimate Homeschool Planner is very nice for one that you want to write in. At this time, I still prefer Homeschool Tracker Plus on my computer for homeschool planning and records. Oddly, for a personal planner rather have it so I can write rather than on my computer. I write in my own daily planner pages for personal stuff, to-do lists, and notes, but some of it is has lists that I made up so I did not have to write the same thing over and over. My daughter bought her own student planner at Big Lots recently. I would probably go paperless if I had an iPad, but I don't.
There are so many free planner resources out there that it's really easy to pick and choose and make your own, if you want it bound you can have it done at Staples for a decent price. For me, I'm not a big planner more of a "we need to do these subjects this day" kinda thing. I like to make my own up in excel that is more of a checklist.
I make my own. But that's the OCD in me! LOL Plus I couldn't find one that worked well with the Charlotte Mason approach. Have you checked out donnayoung and thehomeschoolmom?? Lots of free printable options to put together your own if you don't want to make your own.
I'm too much of a control freak. I each of my kids has their own excel spreadsheet that I print out for them.
This year I'm using the Elan W101 for basic overall planning and grade keeping. Less than $4 from Rod and Staff. Yesterday I made a simple Excel sheet for specific daily plans.
