I don’t go into detail at all. I simply fill in the lesson number or heading of a lesson for each subject. The curriculum already wrote out the lesson, why should I do it a second time?
I also don’t have all the subjects listed in each day’s block. I write them in daily. This is because some days our social studies lessons is via a trip to the state museum or science is a visit to the Endocrinologist. Maybe we doubled up on Language arts on Monday so Tuesday doesn’t need a LA lesson. There are about a million reasons why some subjects get skipped here and there but keeping the space blank, I’m not locked in and it’s a more accurate reflection of what we are really learning!
I wonder if you find this philosophy curious or maybe it’s freeing because your life, although different from ours, looks similar in some ways. Either way, I hope this is helpful and if you’re interested in it, I’m including a button to a FREE downloadable lesson plan template in both black and white and in color if you’d like to use a similar set up.
