Thank you for putting this together, I am definitely planning our year this time. How do you use the color-coding in your planner. Do you just assign a color to each child or do you assign them by type of activity? I am just curious because beyond our daily lessons I will add in our field trips and extracurricular activities that they kids have.joslmommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08649000757574234397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-63274218148404813822013-06-12T14:35:39.704-07:002013-06-12T14:35:39.704-07:00Another great video, Jamie!

I am sure there are always exceptions to the plan as ladies have mentioned above, but you must start somewhere. I got the traditional vs. non-traditional connection today. I to use a mix of resources and the set planned one usually gets the most attention, while the supplemental items get forgotten. I like the idea of planning the year, as week by week depends on what kind of week I am having. I am eager to see tomorrows video as we are switching from Sonlight to FIAR with read-alouds of our own choosing and I will not have the instructor guide done for me. Hoping to find ideas for how to structure my own. Again very practical, and helpful thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06619118983561372064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628767515693863152.post-70274168023142637932013-06-12T07:45:23.297-07:002013-06-12T07:45:23.297-07:00I'm loving the simple but effective planning s...I'm loving the simple but effective planning strategies you are sharing.
