Rachel, yes I created the lists, grids, and checklists my self. The checklists are specific to each child's grade, basically what they'd learn if they were in a US public learning institution. I have a review of the book I use for this coming up over on The Curriculum Choice.. Yes, I used the proclick to make it except that I used spiral binding instead of the typical "snap" binding. You can easy peasy twist spiral binding in. :D

Ingi, the checklist is basically our syllabus of what my kids would learn if they were in school. All though I don't have a guideline for Tassie schools so I use a US based guideline. It gives us something to work towards! I know there are things we will not achieve on it, but it doesn't bug me because after about 3rd or 4th grade it all repeats itself perhaps a little more in depth as they go along. I think as my guys get older I become a wee bit more rigid in what they learn, where as when they were younger I was much loser.. it's funny because many homeschoolers I know are the complete opposite! Maybe it's my freaking out nature of highschool barreling down upon us with our eldest!!

Ale, yes!! I did stick all the SL read alouds & readers on there!! :D I often use the readers as read alouds too because we're using the LA section of SL and I have them use THOSE as their readers {I'm not using ones that match the core we are in} plus I like to keep a tub, per child, of books I'd like them to read over the year. I suppose I really SHOULD keep a list for them, BUT because I jot all that down under reading it'd probably be more redundant then not, kwim?

Wow- you are a planner! I spent some time over the summer getting my head around syllabus outcomes - although we are tending to unschool, I like to have an idea of the sort of things they should be covering.

I am debating whether to get a diary this year or just record what we do every day under KLA headings.

I want to do more writing this year - critical reviews of reading - so those reading prompts were very helpful!!! Thanks :-)

Did you create the lists and read alouds and checklists and grids yourself? I like this plain format.

Did you make this with the proclick?
