One of the most important things we can do for our homeschools is to keep track of what we have done. It not only serves as a record of our assignments and activities and provides necessary documentation for reporting purposes, but it can also help in determining what we need to be doing. Homeschool planners can make the task of laying out and recording our homeschool days feel a little more organized and less "flying by the seat of our pants."
A quick search of the internet and we found a huge selection of homeschool planners to choose from. We have gathered together some noteworthy free printable homeschool planner resources below:
