Pinned on Pinterest: Printable Planners and Organizers for Children

May 30, 2018 AnnLeave a comment

My 11yo needs a bit of extra help organizing his day. I’ve discovered that he functions best when he has a clear understanding of not only his school assignments, but the chores and playdates, and other activities that we are doing each day. A chore chart and family calendar are helpful to him, but what about putting all of his information in one location?

I use a paper planner to help me stay on track, so I decided that he would benefit from one as well. As I researched for free printable planners and organizers for children, I pinned them on the AHE Organizational Ideas Pinterest Board in case there were other parents like me looking for an inexpensive way to keep a child on track. Click on the link below and you’ll see what I’ve found so far. If you know of any other free printable planners for children, please share a link in the comments below so I can add them to the Pinterest board

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance ^[b]incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

What’s Your Homeschooling ‘Thing’?

May 23, 2018 Ann1 Comment

What’s your homeschooling ‘thing’ right now? What is that one item that you love to use or just can’t live without? That simple item that is at the top of your supply list? For many years my ‘thing’ was freezer paper (my craft paper go-to). However, now that my children are older, my new can’t-live-without item is colored paper, specifically the neon Astrobright colored paper.

For many years each of my three children had a main pastel color that I used for planning and printables. I could look at a stack of papers and know that the pale green papers were for one child, the yellow for another, etc. Keeping each child’s paperwork organized by color made sorting and organizing so much easier.

Now that I’m down to one student, my love of colored paper has increased, not decreased! Now I’m in love with the shockingly bright Astrobright paper. I categorize and print multiplication fact cards and review sheets by color. A different neon color for each part of speech in his grammar notebook, the uses are endless! I always keep a healthy supply of colored paper, cardstock and lined notebook paper on hand. Always ready to print!

What item makes life easier/more cheerful/more organized/simpler for you? Share with us your homeschooling thing in the comments!

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace;

The Lord has entrusted to parents a solemn, sacred work. They are to cultivate carefully the soil of the heart. Thus they may be laborers together with God. He expects them to guard and tend carefully the garden of their children’s hearts. They are to sow the good seed, weeding out every unsightly weed. Every defect in character, every fault in disposition, needs to be cut away; for if allowed to remain, these will mar the beauty of the character.

Patiently, lovingly, as faithful stewards of the manifold grace of God, parents are to do their appointed work. It is expected of them that they will be found faithful. Everything is to be done in faith. Constantly they must pray that God will impart His grace to their children. Never must they become weary, impatient, or fretful in their work. They must cling closely to their children and to God.

If parents work in patience and love, earnestly endeavoring to help their children to reach the highest standard of purity and modesty, they will succeed. In this work parents need to manifest patience and faith, that they may present their children to God, polished after the similitude of a palace.

Manuscript 138, 1898.
