My Star Rating: 5 stars out of 5

My Summary Statement: Different and Better Than Other Student Planner Calendars; Great for Homeschooled Students Too!, August 21, 2010

After looking at all the student planners available in a big chain bookstore in person, when I saw this one, person I knew it was right for my son (in grade 8). This calendar is for August 2010 to August 2011.

The bulk of the planner is the weekly planner section which I'll focus my review on.

The Single Homeschool Mom: The Half Way Mark

Our home schooling year is half way over.  I have finally caught up on the grade book and our Christmas vacation has started.  Baking awaits and packages need to be mailed out next week.  I am cutting it close!

I have begun to plan for 2012 in all aspects on my life -- work, home schooling, spiritual and blogging.  Today, I am shredding documents and preparing binders for 2012.  One of the online stores I frequent is LTD Commodities.  If I can't get my hands on something from the thrift...

Faith In Small Things: Homeschooling the Catholic way: Why ...

A benefit of homeschooling is that you can tailor curriculum to best fit your child.  If something isn't working then it is pretty easy to switch things up (easy theoretically, not always financially!)  In our homeschool it has happened already with the math program we chose, Horizons.

I chose Horizons because it was recommended by Sonlight for first time homeschoolers.  It also had very high reviews in almost every forum I visited.  When I looked at sample pages, I liked what I saw:...

AOP Monarch Online Homeschool Curriculum Review

NO REFUND POLICY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before you buy this product, you better be darn sure it will work for you, because you will have just wasted your money if it does not. Yet, how does one really know without trying, and why doesn't AOP offer a trial period? I just spent $90 on 8th grade Language Arts and at the end of it, my daughter was in tears. She watched the sample lesson, and it seemed fine to her. She was really wanting to do as much school on her computer as possible. Yet when she...

Growing Your Homeschool: Homeschool Memoirs: the When and ...

My earliest homeschool memories are of doing school at the kitchen table, with a blue dish tub full of A Beka homeschool books, and my mom trying her best to mirror the experience we'd had in our private school setting. My younger sister schooled at the table with me, and my brother (six years older) did his work in his bedroom, away from our elementary noise. Kindergarten, second grade, and eighth grade was what my mother began with, back when homeschooling was much less defined and...

Vintage Winnie Blog - Homeschool Update: The $$$$

I’ve been so busy schooling and mothering and working and remodeling the kitchen that I haven’t had time to think about blogging…but now I’ve stolen a moment, so here goes…

Homeschool is still everything I ever wanted it to be and more. The daily grind is nonexistent. It is fun to wake up, fun to educate, fun to play, fun to re-learn things I forgot about from elementary school. The easiest parts are the teaching parts, because they are so fun. The hardest part is the scheduling…but...

Parental Tech: How did I chose my homeschool curriculum...?

In my homeschool search 4 years ago I was all over the internet, checking out homeschool curriculums. There are MANY choices out there. Religious, Secular, Montessori, Waldorf and the list goes on and on! I had to decide what I felt would work best for my son and myself as inexperienced homeschoolers. Once I narrowed my choices down, I started checking the homeschool curriculum reviews on them. Some looked great on paper but when you got real time reviews from people who had used this...you...
