My Lesson Planner: Part Two




These are the next pages in my planner. These are the actual planning pages. I used Open Office. I made a table with 4 columns on one page for Monday-Thursday. The cells of each are divided labeled with the time of day in 20-minute increments. Charlotte Mason suggests short lessons of intense material. On the second page I made 4 columns for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Notes. This is our "weekend" page. On Friday afternoons, I'm planning on an outing of some kind and hope to put a picnic together or at least hit the drive through of Taco Johns and make it a Nature Study--regardless of the weather. Saturday is totally blank--this will be for recording chores and "house blessing" (aka: Saturday cleaning) On Sunday's column I can record the character trait/virtue we're learning about, the Scripture to memorize, and the biography of a missionary or other well-known Christian. At the top of the first page I have a place to jot down the name of the Artist for the term and the artist's piece we are doing Picture Study with each week. On the other page there is a place to record the Composer of the term and the Poet of the term. I'm happy with it. If you'd like me to adjust the times for your use please let me know. I am happy to share my creation with you.
