My Very Own Lesson Planner

I love the idea of having a boxed curriculum where it's ALL DONE FOR YOU, but the whole "BOX" thing: doing what they tell ya and all is not really my thing. So I made my own "box" which I can climb in and out of at will, and I didn't pay for it so if I don't do something I wasted no money (well except for the printer ink, the tabs, the binding...but I am sure I would have printed something else...).

I printed out my lesson plans for the year using Donna Young's Homeschool Planner (Excel Version...AWESOME!)...


Then I got some colored divider tabs for $1.00 at Target...

Then I printed some more...

Then I went to Staples, where my kids know the copy and print girl by name. I got this cute plastic folder, cut it down the middle and had them BIND the whole thing! Voila!

I love it! A lot. I showed Justin twice and he tried not to laugh.

This is so funny, I just got done writing a post about a planner I purchased and my conclusion was that I might be better off making my own planner from Donna Young's website. Your's sounds totally cool!

P.S. Yep, those pens are from Costco. Anything colorful makes me happy. :D
