I have 4 kids, 3 of which are in school. I needed an easy way to set out lesson plans for them and let them know what they are expected to do. I wanted to keep some sort of record that I could file also. I found these planners at the Dollar Tree and it totally fit the bill!
It is great because once a week (Sunday night usually) I enter in all their assignments and anything going on for the week into their own planners. Then I can adjust their math is they worked ahead or fell behind without screwing up an entire year’s worth of lesson plan.
Then they can refer to it to see what work they have to do. They can also pop it into their backpacks when they go do work at church independently or just see about that playdate or when Awana starts. They mark off their assignments after they are finished and graded. That is it! So simple!
Very cool. We did something similar with Walmart calendars.
Great site. A lot of useful information here. I’m sending it to some friends!
So cool!
Super site, and nice text.
What a great idea and for a buck… 🙂 I might just have to drive up to dollar tree tomorrow and see if I can find anything like that! 🙂

I’ve been doing this for years and it works! Some years I print the pages off the computer but the cheap calendars are more cost effective.
Awesome news indeed. My boss has been searching for this information. Thanks!
