    OK, I love being able to open up five days of lessons to print out each week and give my kids directions, but has anyone figured out a way to type in instructions for kids when you’re not using one division a day.  For example – one book – I’d like to schedule for every day, but the child should be just working on ONE chapter for the entire week.  I’m sure after a few weeks my kiddo will remember what to do, but just thought I’d ask to see if anyone had figured out a trick for entering some basic instructions or notes that show up when you print out the schedule…. or even when you print out the resource page.

    You can create a custom study method – “complete over the week”

    You can enter in a note in the daily to-do area (but you need to remember to do it each time a division comes up)

    You know where I enter it is down at the bottom where you put in: book, lesson etc.  I just hit it writen like this: book-9pg a day or like in science; science 1 ch/bi-wkly, or in copywork – lesson – 1 a day.  HOpe that helps Misty

    You girls are so good at using this!  If I do a custom Study Method – will that show up on the Daily Plan, I see that it does on my Scheduled resources.  I definitely don’t want to be entering it into the notes.

    Misty – you’re putting it in where it says says Divisions?  But then still entering individual chapters in the numbered slots for divisions?  Is that right?  Does that show up on a daily plan?

    Thanks!

    That’s correct. You’ll see it on the Daily Plan next to the assignment.

    Yes that’s correct Rebekahy – it works if it’s small and simple like I said above.  But for say my typing resource it wouldn’t allow that many so I had to copy and paste it each week numbered slots cause I wanted it to say: Mon.-lesson, Tues.-lesson, Wed.-game, Thurs.-narration      That was to many characters so I typed once and pasted 35 more timesLaughing

    Actually, for that type of thing, I’d have 3 resources.

    Typing Lessons (whatever the course name) scheduled M&T

    Typing games (52 divisions) scheduled W

    Typing – narration (52 divisions) scheduled Th

    All setup to use with the lessons resource
