Homeschool Daily Planner Review by Holly Cameron

Resurrection Resources
http://www.thefathersbooks.com/

Resurrection Resources has so many different curricula to offer the homeschool family, and this is just one more example of the quality products this company produces. This planner is very complete, in addition to the usual space for the weekly assignments (which, by the way, have plenty of room for writing in them!). This planner is so much more! It has a place for prayers and goals for your student for the year, as well as many devotionals throughout the planner. There are attendance/hours charts for those who have to keep track of such things, a place for field trips, and also a page for chores and family rules.

These are blank and left that way intentionally for you to write in your own family chores and rules. The cool thing about this planner that I haven't seen in others is the daily grading chart that is available. There are instructions for using it right at the back of the book, immediately preceding the chart. You can daily grade lessons, quizzes, and tests, and once it is in the book, it is so much easier at the end of the term or semester to record and give out grades. Some of us may not need or use this feature, but it is very nice to have for those that are living in states that require grades for all subjects.

There are also two styles of report cards in the planner that you may photocopy and present to your student. The weekly schedule itself affords plenty of space for you to write down assignments, either as you do them so you know what the student has done, or beforehand so all the student has to do is look at each two page spread to know what lies ahead for the week. The calendar is set up for a 36-week year. There are plenty of spaces available to add your own individualized subjects, as well as the basics. This is a very comprehensive planner that would work well in any homeschool environment. It is easy-to-use and implement, and not big and bulky like some I've seen. It would be an asset to any student!
