I wasn’t going to post these until later in the year, But with the large amounts of parents now thrust into the world of homeschooling, I decided to post it now.
First... Welcome to home teaching. We all start teaching our children from the moment their born. We teach them how to eat, how to communicate, how to walk. It simply doesn’t stop once they enter the school system.
Having to teach them math, reading, history... seems to scare all of us.
Here Is a secret to teaching... Curriculum. We all use a curriculum... to some extent. Teachers use curriculums.
Now, the curriculums shouldn’t trap you....thats the difference between homeschooling and conventional schooling. The teachers have to adhere to standards and topics. At home, if we’re learning about something and my child is interested in one aspect of it, we can pause and dig deeper. For example, my daughter loves science and loved learning about elements. So we paused, memorized all the elements via a song on YouTube and I purchased a book about every element from our local museum. We sang the song and read about a few elements a day. It was fun. Then we went back to our regularly scheduled curriculum. FREEDOM!!!!

One way to stay organized is with planners. I use a planner, teachers use a planner and many parents use a planner.
I created these homeschool planners for the students. 2 are more boy-ish and 2 are girly. You can use these in any PDF editor. If you want to, you can print these if you prefer and write in your child’s work. I also added a section for chores and memories. If you use these digitally, you can drop in pictures and keep track of all your homeschooling fun. These were originally created for homeschoolers but since we have a large group of new homeschoolers, I’m going create a screen video of how to use these.
I have also included attendance template. You can drop in what ever colors your child wants...or what you want. I have also included 33 weekly templates...Let’s say that again... 33 weekly Templates. Why so many?? I love colors and choices... I love having seasonal templates. I have spring, summer, winter, Fall, colors. I have Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, Halloween colors...all the fun colors for the year. Again, I love choices and colors.
Many will ask, “Why are you giving these away for free?”
I do realize that I can sell these.
I am seeing such generosity in this trying time. I am seeing companies giving out free monthly memberships to websites for parents. I’m watching people and neighbors in my community come together to provide lunches and meals to those families who depend on the school system for meals. I’m watching our true love for one another!
Yes, I’m also seeing greed but the love is overwhelming.
“And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.”
Many of my graphics are from Chantahlia’s Design. This woman is amazingly generous with all her graphics. They’re all free!! Because she is so generous, I can be generous!!
In this hard time, be a light. Love people, do what you can to help and keep on trusting the Lord.
If you’re nervous about homeschooling your child, then you’re on the right track. It’s an important responsibility. I’ve been homeschooling for over 20 years and I’m always second guessing myself. This spurs me on to do more research. To learn things I NEVER thought I would, but I’ve also found that I enjoy this now more than ever!!

Hi I love your homeschool planner! Thank you for offering it free❤️ I was wondering if you have a video or instructions on how you put links on each month slide for the weeks? I’m new at this 🤔
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Annette
Hi Annette, in the video, I may not of gone over it but I also use Zoomnotes for their master pages. If that doesn’t help, then send me an email here. Mother4Jesus@gmail.com
