If there are any other planning sheets you'd like to see added, please let me know.

2011-2012 Curriculum Choices for Christian

I meant to post this ages ago :)


Together School:

Scripture Study - The Book of Mormon Made Easier

I use the hardbound copy and each of the kids has their own soft bound copy to follow along.

Christian - 7th grade

Language Arts

Writing: The Complete Writer: Writing With Skill Level 1

Grammar: Easy Grammar

Spelling: Sequential Spelling

Literature: I choose literature to go along with our history studies

History: Story of the World Vol. 4

Geography: We study the geography that goes along with our history

Science: Rainbow Science

Math: Teaching Textbooks - Math 7

Personal Reading: I expect Christian to read at least one chapter from a book on his reading level.  He is allowed to choose the book as long as I approve.  He's not a big fan of reading but once he gets into a book he usually can't put it down :)

Music: Piano lessons (practice 20-30 daily)

Physical Fitness: Martial Arts (3 days a week)

Putting a Button with Code on Blogger

I'm not new to blogging, as some of you know.  However, there are some things I just couldn't figure out for the life of me.  One of those things was putting a button with code on my blog.  I'm guessing there are some of you that are in the same boat I 'was' in.  Well as you can see by looking at the left-hand side bar I've got buttons with codes - one I paid for but the other I did on my own!!  Yay!  I really am quite excited about it, as you can see :)  So I'm going to share with you the website where I found the easy instructions...

A Heart for Home has the code for how to accomplish this.  You just add your links and a couple a few other easy changes which are clearly marked and you're in business.  Trust me if I can do it, anyone can! 

Organizing All That Unused Paper

This looks like a somewhat decent way to store your paper and for me it worked for many years.  BUT, it took up not only the  three shelves shown in this picture, but two others.... that's 5 shelves I could have been using for something else, like BOOKS for example.  I wanted a different way of storing all that unused paper.

If you do notebooking or lapbooking, chances are you have a lot of paper in several weights and colors.  I like to keep the colors and weights separate from one another... just a little OCD :)  Anyway, I saw this paper organization system on a blog several months ago and I WISH I knew where it came from!  If you do please let me know so I can give credit where it's due.  Anyway,  it's so easy and makes so much sense, I can't believe I didn't think of it before.

All you need is a file crate and hanging folders. I use colored folders and put the same or similar colors in the files.  So here's my version of this system.

So easy! Now...  what to do with all those paper trays?  I know what to do with the 5 empty shelves! :)

Let me know how you store your paper.  I'm always open to new and different ideas!  I'm working on organizing my schoolroom better so any and all ideas are welcome!
