If you are brand new to the life of a home-schooling parent then there are plenty of resources out there for what lessons to plan, curriculum, etc. This is no small undertaking as your child's love of learning is at stake with the way you mold them and nurture their future values. The outcome of these efforts determines which college they will attend, and their career readiness beyond.
No matter if you are getting all of your school content by printing lesson plans off the internet or if you have bought the full range of textbooks for every subject there are places you can go to get advice, support and more information about every aspect of the home schooling experience. You cannot research enough when choosing to go the route of home schooling!
While lesson planning tips abound, here are a few quick tips that can help you with your home school organizing method. Make the most out of these learning experiences by trying these suggestions and creating a better balance in your life instead of spending unnecessary hours planning for the next week.
Weekly Lesson Plan Checklist:
1. At the beginning of the week collect all the upcoming pages, printable pages, and instructions for the next week.
2. Have a weekly curriculum checklist to make sure you do not forget any subjects, assignments, etc. (you can dedicate one of the folder pockets to a weekly checklist folder).
3. Make sure you are familiar with the content your children will be learning the next week. Take a look over all of their chapters, tests, or projects, so you can be fully prepared for what they will be working towards.
4. At the end of the week make sure any completed assignments are placed into the appropriate folder so you can keep track of what they did and the date it was completed. When home schooling it is always a good idea to keep everything throughout the year for reference and as a record of what your child has accomplished.
5. Be structured so that both you and your children always know what to expect from week to week.
