"Whatchadoin?" Week 1~ lesson plans

I am counting the weeks until school starts again.  I think there are only five or so left.  Of course that is partly do to us starting only half way through August but still I'm starting to prepare.

To be honest I love lesson planning and scheduling.  Picking out curriculum is a blast for me.  My husband rolls his eyes and groans a bit when I try to get him to read text books but he still listens to me as I compare each of them.

Right now I am mapping out the first half of our year.  I always start with each subject on their own sheet of paper.

Then I try to put them in one planner so I can see my plans at a glance.  This year I am trying something new.  Instead of waiting for the teacher books to go on sale I found really cute student planners.

My hope is that these will also take the place of checklists for the girls.  The cuteness of the planners also inspired me to make the inside look nice too.

Since I tend to plan one subject at a time, the different colors were pretty easy to use.

The different colors also helped me to keep track of when I was scheduling reading vs projects so I didn't have her doing the same thing in every subject.

So my plans are coming along, Wednesdays I will try to share what we are doing in each subject, or at least hoping to do.
