Planning a Re-usable course of study with the CM organizer

missceegee — how have you found the learning curve for Homeschool Planet? Is H.Planet as easy to get started as the video claims it will be?

I’m using Homeschool Planet this year, too. I like it quite a bit so far. I was one of the Beta testers, so I’ve been using it for over a month now.

Thinking outloud here…  I wonder if it would work to make a planner for each subject.  For example, you schedule the ancient books out for the year, divided into terms/weeks/etc (could do it for all ages, or by younger, middle, high school).  Then you do the same for each science.  Math.  Everything.  When you have a child in ancients using physical science in MUS Gamma you pull out those schedules for them.  Yes, the have to look at 3 different schedules, but the entire year is planned out for each child after.  Alternately, you could have them look at each schedule at the beginning of the week and they could write it out into one schedule, all the subjects on one page.  You give them the Master Schedule for that resource/course of study, and they copy it into the weekly schedule they will use.  Sometimes they might be on Week 16 for history and Week 13 for science, but things are checked off the Master Schedule as they go so you always know where they are and where they’re going.
