I don't lesson plan ahead of time. I separate out into weekly folders. I have 36 folders and place all MFW worksheets in those for the year. Then I have the binding removed from math and any other worksheet type books and place them all in a single folder. Sunday night, I place all the work into individual day folders for each kid for the week. So I have a Alyssa - Monday folder, Alyssa - Tuesday folder, etc. Then they have everything that they need to finish for that day in the folder. If they want to work ahead for the week, they can. I also then put post it notes on the folder for anything else that I want them to finish that doesn't come in workbook type form (spanish cd, etc). Then, I use MFW's lesson plans as a guide for my week, but I don't feel like I need to literally plan more than what they already have in there.MrsRobinson wrote:I was wondering if anyone would like to share how they plan lessons. Specifically, I have two in exp-1850, a 7th and 2nd grader. I don't want to write in their spelling, math and other individual subjects on the actual teacher plans from Mfw because I will be using these particular plans 2 more times. So, I'm in my 12th year of hs and I've yet to find or create the prefect planner. What do you do?
I copy the weekly grids and keep my marked copies. I keep the history notebook. These two items become our record of the year.kw4blessings wrote:My oldest will be starting Adv for 2nd grade next week. Because of the homeschooling status that we chose for our state, we are not required to submit anything to our local board as far as records go. But, I would like to keep some kind of record for each child to have for various reasons. How do I go about doing that using MFW in the elementary years? Do I need to make a list of each subject? So much seems integrated between subjects with MFW. I'm at a loss right now. From this past year in 1st, I kept dd's workbook, Bible notebook, some of the phonics projects, some pages from CBOM, etc.
What do you all do, whether to comply with state laws or just for your own purposes (portfolio, etc.)? How do you keep it organized? Thanks!
You can make each child their own copy of the weekly lesson plan charts, and they can each keep them in their own 3 ring binder. This is allowable under the condition that you do not sell, give, or loan the original TM or any of the copies. You can find this at the very front of the TM on the copyright page.raised4Him wrote:I am new to MFW this year and starting with ECC with a 3rd and 7th grader. I need suggestions for a planner. I love the fact that everything is listed so wonderfully in the teacher's manual BUT, there doesn't seem to be enough space for me to write info for both of them in the same space. Can anyone give me some ideas or suggestions how they have handled this. I hope this makes sense, maybe I am just overthinking this, as I often do. But I would love to hear from anyone who has any great ideas. With summer wrapping up I am really wanting to get this planned out, and just can't get passed this for some crazy reason. Thank you--I just need a light bulb to go off/Dawn
I tried my own plan I wrote in. I tried copying the grid and marking on that. I don't need records for our state. All of it eventually seemed like too much extra, unnecessary paper and work for me.hsmom5 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 08, 2015 9:40 pmHello!! And Happy Holidays to everyone!!
This year I decided to use a lesson plan to write everything in and any extra activities we do for G.C A-Z and Adventures (2nd grd) just so Im not writing so much in the actual manual but I'm wondering if this is really necessary??? it's not required by my state.. But I was just trying to keep it as a light form of record keeping..
Does anyone else do this? Or am I just simply creating more work for myself!! Lol.. Any thoughts greatly appreciated!!
