2015-2016 Homeschool Organization

As we slowly progress back into the groove of school, we get more organized for the year. I am organizing the girls with 3 inch binders, and myself with a 3 inch binder and some smaller 1.5 inch binders as well. We have the house organized for homeschool as well. When we moved in I bought a china cabinet, we use it for school books and crafty stuff at the moment. Here is a quick look into how we will be organized for the year.

Kids

Each girl has a notebook for a reading log, and will be given prompts for book reports, journaling, and reading logs. In each notebook she has three reading logs, once she reaches a goal she will get a pizza dinner with Mom.

Each girl has a 3 inch binder. Each of these binders will have the following tabs for classes:

Language Arts
     Vocab/Spelling
     Grammar/Writing
     Literature {Boo}

History
     Each week/unit has a sub-tab for work

Science
     Each chapter will have a sub-section for work
     Field trips

Geography
     Sub-sections as needed {we have never worked with this, so this will be a work in progress}

Math
     Basic notes
     Laminated speed tests

Religion
{I have not yet found a curriculum I love though}

Language
{Second semester we will be adding a language!}


Mommy

I have 1.5 inch binders for each girl. These will be used as daily attendance reports, test storage, and final book reports. Sections:

Laminated school year calendar
List of subjects and corresponding books {for Dad's house}
Copies of weekly lesson plans for each child
     Kind of like this, but for a whole week because they need it for Dad's place
Pre-printed copywork and pages as need for Dad's place
Copies of current grades for Dad
Laminated copy of all websites and current passwords

I also use {for my own personal use and planning} the Well Planned Day planner.
