So, speaking of going places, and gaps, and education...I really need to assess where each child is at in their school year. And look ahead to the end of the year. And next year. And then...HIGH SCHOOL.
This 2007-2008 year, I have:
Ginger 7th grade
Momo 5th grade
Tullius 2nd grade
Zamakee Kindergarten
This is week 22 of 36 for us.
Today, while holding my feverish 2yo, I finally started making the colorful Excel spreadsheets that I've been meaning to do for weeks! Here is Gingers:
Clicking on it makes it huge, but readable.I must buy something new for her for math, I didn't realize how close she was to being done with Key to Decimals! Math is definitely a difficult subject for her. Which makes it difficult for me.
And writing. I've really got to get something for writing. TOG's Writing Aids started out good for us, but I rearranged some things, dropped it for a month during NaNo, then we had 6 weeks off for Winter Break and I can't get back into Writing Aids. I've tried each week, and it has been a flop each time. I need something prepared, precise, and preferably written to the student. Maybe Jump Into Writing...

Can you come to my house and show me how to do that with excel? :0) I can't figure out how to use excel - so I'll stick to Word, thank you very much!
I need to do this same thing. I need to find some time to figure out just where we are.
I love your Excel spreadsheet. That is just the sort of thing I would make. I love the simplicity. I love the color-coding. I love how it so clearly shows where you are and where you're going.
Good luck on doing your other ones.
Oh, and this makes a great weekly report!
Your excel spreadsheet is beautiful (and looks very useful too!) That is a good idea. That reminds me, I usually like to make a report a few times per year listing out all the concepts my kids have learned up til this point. I think I am overdue on making my report for the first half of the year!
See, I need something like this. I like how you have everything planned out far in advance.
Hope the little one feels better.
Lee-your the best! This is exactly what I need to do. I have had a great schedule all year, but we are doing less and less everyday, as I lose the momentum. I need to remap and get re-motivated. I am wondering if I should use Tapestry of Grace next year for 8th grade????
You've got it going girl!

Lee! This is a great visual.... and tool... I have not had time to do anything like this myself.... I have a 24 hour day... I just dont why I cant fit more in! lol

Lee,
That looks great! I am currently working on a K-8 plan but it's going *really* slowly. Seeing your beautifully laid out plan makes me want to get back to work. Thanks for the inspiration and have a great week!

Great spread sheet. :o) It is nice to see down the road. :o)
Hum... Writing... That is not my favorite subject. What grades are you looking for? Ones that we used and liked are: Home 2 Teach online writing classes & Writing Tales. Both are written to the student.
I hear Jump In is good too. Hope & praying you find what fits your needs.
Blessings~Tina
