November 28, 2008, Newsletter Issue #256: Planning Ahead in Your Homeschool Lesson Plans

Tip of the Week

If you are creating your own lesson plans, try to plan them on a weekly basis. That way, if you fall behind on time, you don't have to worry about the next day's lessons.

Doing lesson plans in blocks helps you see a fuller picture and allows you to set goals that are a bit more well-rounded than when you make them one day at a time.

Thanks so much for reading the the Homeschool Tips Newsletter.

The new 2006-2007 Sonlight catalog is hot off the presses! In addition to new educational resources, we've also made some significant improvements to our curriculum, such as expanded flexibility in Reader choices for Levels K through 2.

The catalog also provides several articles with helpful homeschool tips. For example, check out the "Top Ten Goals" article (pp. 146-147) which can help you think through your personal philosophy when it comes to homeschooling. And "Why we use certain books that some homeschoolers won't touch" (pp. 144-145), that gets into some pretty important issues about the content of books. And you won’t want to miss “27 Reasons NOT to Buy Sonlight”—a perennial favorite (beginning on page 148).
