Then the STUDENT fills out the lesson plan book each day AFTER they have completed it. For example parent plans they finish 1/2 this science book during first semester. Student records what they did in science each day. It made a lot of sense to me to have a general plan but then record after completing it instead of planning what you will do next week and you may get interrupted or schedule change or spend longer on another subject, etc. If you record it afterwards then you have a record to make a transcript. Plus it makes a lot less work for the parent, the student is the one responsible. This will be good for planning time in college. The parent can check the student's planner weekly and see their progress.<br />Personally I'm making a list of all the fiction that we own-from board books to picture books to chapter books to adult fiction. I'm over 1000 and I'm not done yet! Our library is so huge that I can't remember if we own it or I used it when I was teaching or if we checked something out of the library. My oldest needs to finish his math from last year and then we need to order math, but I'm not planning on ordering a lot more than math because we have most of what we need in our personal library too. <br />Have fun planning next year!Ewehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049392222474704158noreply@blogger.com
