In reply to kristen. It takes a while to get into the swing of homeschooling when you first start. Many of my kids are older (middle school and high school) so I'm able to hand off the weekly assignment sheets to them. My younger kids need me to sit down and plan their week for them. I sit down for a few minutes on Friday and decide what I'd like to do in each subject. What ages are your children? :-)

In reply to Sara Dennis. Would it be possible to see a sample of your assignment sheet, and also to see any planning sheets or schedules you use during your Friday planning sessions, or show /describe how you plan for the following week on Fridays? Thank you for any help! I am new to this and struggling to fully wrap my head around how to flow through the year each week.

In reply to meg. I love Tapestry. :-) Hanging the assignments in the kitchen has been a God-send. The children are no longer losing their assignments sheets. ;-)

Wow! This is almost exactly what I was planning for the next year. I am going to use your idea of posting assignments in the kitchen… I have three girls in the same grade, and am always hand copying their assignments into each girls notebook… its getting crazy. POST the assignments! yes!

I will be using color coded folders for each child, and color coded hanging folders to separate my 6 – six week terms. I like your idea of a “to be graded” folder. I also use the binder portfolio method.

So glad to see that you use this for Tapestry. We are also Tapestry users.

Nice blog!

In reply to Sarah. Good luck with your first year of homeschooling! It takes a while to figure out the details of keeping it all together and organized, but it does come together after a time. :-)
