Thanks for sharing such informative blog!! This is really a great tip and I hope this will go well for each and every parent who are homeschooling their children. We have already planned and bought some of the books for my children. I hope this works out for me too.

In reply to Sara Ellen. That happens quite a bit around here as well, the kids are either finishing early or still in the middle of the book. It sounds like you and your daughter have a great system worked out so she has just the right amount of challenge in her school work, Sara Ellen. :)

lol! Since we don’t use “out of the box” or all-in-one type things for our schooling we always either finish up early or end the year half way through a book. When we’ve finished a text/guide with a couple of weeks to go before the end of the year, we drop the subject and find something to fill in the time. However, if there is a month or so left to the year, we’ve just gone ahead. Sixth-grade dd is working on 9th-grade workbooks in a couple of topics and 4th-6th-grade guides/kits in others. She’s at her level of understanding, so I’m not worried about the grade levels assigned to her work.

In reply to KT. The table works really well for me. I hope it works as well for you. :-)

In reply to Mother of 3. It takes a while to gather everything together, doesn't it! :-)

Excellent advice here. We use Saxon, too, which means all I have to do is make sure we have the right books. But I plan literally everything myself, so it takes a lot more work. I like the idea of a table, I will definitely try that this year.

We have bought next year’s math book already but the rest I’m definitely still working on!

In reply to Jen. It's amazing. Even after homeschooling for 15 years, I find we still need to make changes around December. :-)

The last step is so important, I always forget that changes happen half way though our school year. Thanks for these great tips!
