I like lists. Naturally, then, I have lots of lists. I have lists of curriculum to buy for 2010-2011. I have lists of supplemental books & kits to buy for 2010-2011. I have a list of reference books and resources to buy. I have a prioritized list of various things to buy as long as Spousal Unit is continuing to work freelance. I have a list of things to do by August 1, 2010, that centers primarily around the kids' extracurricular opportunities. I have 101 in 1001 list.
Naturally, though, I needed another list. I needed a list of what I needed to do between now and the first of July, to get ready for the 2010-2011 school year. If a grade is not specified, it's fifth grade and for EG. Kindergarten is FB. PC doesn't have anything on the list. PC doesn't have anything on the kids' extracurriculars list either. She is woefully deprived. She'll survive it.
Without further ado, then, and to keep myself somewhat accountable, my "by 1 July 2010" list:
• Type up art appreciation lesson plans.
• Make music appreciation lesson plans.
• Buy Art in Story and make art appreciation plans for kindergarten.
• Finalize art skill plans for kindergarten.
• Decide direction to take with scheduling art skills, and then finalize.
• Map out framework for language arts.
• Make history pages for fifth grade.
• Finalize supplemental history books for kindergarten.
• Make history pages for kindergarten.
• Make history of science lesson plans.
• Decide on supplemental books for history of science.
• Finalize general science overview lesson plans.
• Break Art of Problem Solving texts in daily lesson plan chunks.
• Plan prehistoric life/dinosaur unit.
• Plan focus unit for evolution & genetics.
• Consider possible supplemental or source reading for science, and schedule.
• Make lesson plans for Latin Prep 1.
• Set up binders.
• Figure out timeline.
• Set calendar including dates for travel.
• Create all schedules necessary for 2010-2011 school year.

One single mom, three kids, and a evolutionary, classical approach to homeschooling & afterschooling. I knit, I run, I write, and I read. I'm also passionate about politics.
The kids are Eclectic Girl, or EG, a fifth grader who is 11; Fabulous Boy, also known as FB, now 7 and in in first grade; and Purple Child, or PC, 3, who is a lesson in why you should be careful who or what shares your child's name.

AGHGHGHGH, Yeah, that is pretty much what my life looks like through July. Need the rest of my books though before I can really get started. Stupid USPS is taking forever.
God, I feel like a massive failure upon reading this!
I'm with you, smrt, tho I have started looking at what I want to do next year. at least for the bigger one.
I do lists instead of laundry.
Yeppers me too, I have collected the majority of stuff for next year, now I just need to sit down and put it all in Homeschool Tracker. Gosh I love that program already. I can edit, and print out a new plan LOL
@Jana No homeschool tracker for me - Mac girl :) I map it all out on paper, then pop it into excel files w/ numbered weeks and/or days. Makes it superflexible but still safe from accidental liquid spills or the like. :)
