I was thinking of using it to plan for next year as well. I wondered how far out you plan, or do you plan the work you want to accomplish in a year and then just write it out as you get to it?Mrs. Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01248784552465074108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551324823806602740.post-37038108949347401262010-07-22T14:55:12.798-07:002010-07-22T14:55:12.798-07:00I have been saving this post to read before I star...I have been saving this post to read before I start planning, and today I am breaking out the notebook(mine is not as cute as yours:)). I love that you show your actual notebook pages-that is so helpful. Your "Planning for FIAR" and "Morning Meeting Time" have been helpful too! Thank you for sharing. :)Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14791937803209189384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551324823806602740.post-42554908286015949792010-07-22T07:59:05.225-07:002010-07-22T07:59:05.225-07:00I"ve been homeschooling for 12 years now - ol...I"ve been homeschooling for 12 years now - oldest is 16, and I've flip flopped and flop flipped like you about what works. Each year is different. For my oldest two, I write their assignments in their own notebooks that they keep by their computers. For the youngest two (ages 5 and just because the littlest one will want to do it too at age 3.5), I will keep a spiral notebook, much like yours. That is what I did when my older ones were younger. As they grew I started to use colored pens for differentiation (one for son1, another color for son 2, and the third color for what they'd do together). Helped for the end of the year report! I'm back to FIAR this year and this is how I found your blog. We used it years ago and I loved it then and am excited for the new bunch!<br /><br />CathyTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551324823806602740.post-36079699628598841552010-07-03T07:04:52.328-07:002010-07-03T07:04:52.328-07:00Thanks for all the spiral planning support!!

I mean I can give you great ideas on planning public school high school classes! But I have a feeling that's not what you need. : )<br /><br />HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945033763952064373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551324823806602740.post-69031983839173219262010-07-02T21:14:12.313-07:002010-07-02T21:14:12.313-07:00Just wanted to say thanks for sharing this!

Mine aren't quite as neat as yours because I scribble all sorts of things in the margins, but it works for me. I've tried to use other planners but I've always gone back to the notebook.

I just told my husband (we're both former elementary teachers) the other day I wish he could stay at home, too; I'd do the planning, he'd do the doing. :)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320336368732794711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551324823806602740.post-42815615473341895642010-06-29T18:55:57.368-07:002010-06-29T18:55:57.368-07:00Heather, what did I tell you?

I'll give the plain notebook (with the pretty cover!) a try.<br /><br />One question, how far out do you plan, or at least write out, in your notebook? I find that if I get too far ahead of myself and something unforeseen comes up, my plans are in a shambles.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Sarahdstbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12640426092185071874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551324823806602740.post-66937348932088024302010-06-28T14:27:53.643-07:002010-06-28T14:27:53.643-07:00Stacy thanks!

Though you can look at my review from last year by just putting the name in the search box.<br /><br />I'm more electronic oriented with my to do list and calendar so I don't have a need for all those home organization forms.<br /><br />None of the schooling forms hit it for me. <br /><br />If you read the post carefully, you'll see what I think about forms. Just not for me right now basically.<br /><br />My favorites are homemade and the FIAR planner forms specifically.<br /><br />More posts on MOTL to come.<br /><br />HeatherHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12945033763952064373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5551324823806602740.post-71895151760628167502010-06-27T20:03:09.350-07:002010-06-27T20:03:09.350-07:00Have you seen TOS planner?

If you have, is it a good one? <br /><br />I just skimmed your post right now but I will go back and reread it and your MOTL post later. <br /><br />I'm trying to decide between getting the TOS planner, Susan Chrisman's CM planner or the FIAR planner. In the past, I've gotten the FIAR planner but I am adding other things in now, too like HSS and AO to our FIAR stuff.Rachelhttp://www.themushroomgrove.comnoreply@blogger.com
