Schoolhouse Planners Giveaway!!!

Many of you are planning out your next year's lessons.  Some may be procrastinating because you are just not sure where to go or what to do.  The new textbooks are here, what now?!?!


The Old Schoolhouse Magazine has created a set of wonderful homeschool planners to help you organize your lessons, life and home!  Best of all it, it's not one-size-fits-all!!  These are truly planners that you can customize for your family's needs and lifestyle.

The Old Schoolhouse crew has created 4 unique planners to help cover every families needs.

The Schoolhouse Planner for 2013-2014 "Big Mama" Planner ($39.00) features 800 different customizable pages of specialized homeschooling forms.  But these are not just for "homeschooling" tasks, these will you organize your home...as well as your school lessons.  Some of the forms included are calendars, to-do lists, field trip forms, book report forms, book lists, address forms, home management forms, task trackers, lesson planners, meal planners and recipes.  There are bible study planners and tables/charts that allow you to put together a reference binder for your children to use with their studies.  There are also encouraging articles by homeschooling experts and experienced parents.

You pick and choose what you would like to use, fill in the information online and print them for your home binder.


Even though the Schoolhouse Planner is filled full of information, there are still some unique circumstances in each family that requires a bit more tweaking   The Old Schoolhouse magazine came prepared for these circumstances by creating Student Planners to go right along with your Schoolhouse Planner. 

If you are homeschooling a student with special needs, there are a few more obstacles.  A few more forms to fill out and keep track of.  The Special Learners Schoolhouse Student Planner 2013-2014 ($29.00) puts all these forms in easy to download format.  Simple pick the forms/plans that you want to use, fill them in and print them for your Home Binder.  Included in the Special Learners Schoolhouse Planner are task cards to help teach life skills, field trip forms, book report forms, book lists, encouraging articles from experts and fellow homeschool parents, allergen friendly recipes, Homeschool Individualized Education Plan (IEP), food diaries, and yes customizable calendars and to-do lists.


What if you are trying to get your child to work more independently?  Maybe you would like to help teach them to organize themselves better.  Organization is an ongoing life lesson.   The Primary Schoolhouse Student Planner 2013-2014 ($9.99)  has been specially created to help elementary/primary school age students learn how to organize themselves.  They can use these pages to create their own planner.  Included are pages that allow students to create a reference binder for their work area, field trip forms, book report forms, book lists, a bible reading schedule, customizable calendars, and to-do lists.  There are also helpful articles included for this age group.

I love using the Schoolhouse Planner.  There are so many forms to choose from, and things I don't even think about using.  I really feel like I under utilize this resource.  The forms are simple to download.  You can fill them in and simply print what you want.....You don't need to print all 800 pages.  You can also choose to print blank forms and handwrite in the information.  I can keep the forms in individual binders or in one huge binder that includes home and homeschool information.
