t useful sort of lesson planner. The term and subject forms are sorted into five categories.
- Quarter Planner - These have 45 cells per printed page, which could equal one quarter of a school year.
- Semester Planner - These have 90 cells for lesson plans per printed page.
- Six Week Planners - Although I do not recommend adding dates to a subject planner, this one has 6 rows of cells, which it most people would seem like a 6-week planner, but it's better if you think of it as a 30-cell planner, which could be used for thirty lesson plans.
- Science Planner - I share my apologia lesson plans online and I created a science planner that suited this sort of class - one with reading assignments, lab assignments, and a place under each row for comments or a supply list.
- Grammar and Composition Planner - I call this a grammar and composition planner because that is what I made it for -- for me, but you can use it for any class that has three or more parts.
-a popular set because of the many choices that you have. By Columns is a mix and match set.
Lesson planners that are designed for the purpose of entering lesson plans for one day. Using them that way is optional.
A row planner uses a different planning strategy. Rather than entering lesson plans in daily chunks, enter them in weekly or greater chunks.

XLS file: To use Excel Weekly, enter the student's name, subjects, and start date for your school and this information is spread over 6 weekly planner pages and two objectives pages. Typing lesson plans before printing is optional.
For ultimate control of how your lesson plan forms look and if you have software that supports the file types, use the doc or xls files. Being the paper planning type, I used the pdf files unless I wanted to type my child's name on the planner. I do have a few, very few, pdf's that can be typed on. They are marked with this icon: .
Tip: With the doc files, you can add a background image to dress up the file before printing.

This is the place where you can find all of the homeschool planner printables. All of my printables were made with some sort of software on my computer by me. It usually takes at least two different software products to make these printables, sometimes it takes four software products. All of my works are copyrighted although I don't make a big deal about that on the printable itself. I usually just put this web site's address on the printable in tiny gray letters so you will know where to get more printables.
