    I have two sets of kids that I like to have do things together – my 9 and 7 and then my 5 and 3.  I’m wondering if I should create a new “student” that combines the two olders and another that combines the two youngers or if I would regret doing that for some reason.  I really like being able to print off the next upcoming day and then giving it to the girls to use as a checklist – and some things I want them to do together so I don’t really want to schedule for each of them individually, nor do I want to schedule it as “family” because I don’t want it getting recorded as completed by all my children when just two are doing it.  The little ones activities are less important than the older ones.  Just trying to get creative and would love to hear the potential drawbacks of creating too many students.

    Thanks!

    I don’t use the CMO, but this sounds like a very useful possibly. I’d have used this kind of set up when our older three were a part of the mix. Would’ve made things easier with five kids’ worth of lessons. The older three did most of the sme things. The younger two had completely different assignments/activities. Hope it works for you.

    I have one schdeuled for each set. It is not confusing to me.

    Sheraz – Do you find it clutters up the organizer?  I’m assuming you also have individual students listed and family subjects scheduled for things you all do together.  I’m not worried that it would be confusing, but more that there’s something I may not be considering when printing reports that makes them less useful or… I don’t know – just wanted to make sure before I went and did it there wasn’t something I was missing.  (8 months pregnant and totally indecisive when it comes to making life altering decisions like changes to the CMO  LOL!)

    With a six year gap in my girls, it is a great way for me to not miss the subjects I want them to do as sets…I don’t think that it clutters it up. When we’re done, I print a report and stick it in their portfolios along with their individual work. I might be missing something but it works fine for me. 

    You can always delete the extra set if it doesn’t work.
