Row Lesson Planners

Homeschool Planners with Rows

A row planner uses a different planning strategy. Rather than entering lesson plans in daily chunks, enter them in weekly or greater chunks.

What are row planners?
I named these planners "row" because the places in which lesson plans are written are shaped more like rows than blocks. Also we can have what I might call split rows and an example of that can be found in the column planners, specifically the 2 Column Planners. The previously written sentence is useless information and if you ever asked me about split row planners, I'd probably say, What? Then you'd say, column planners, then I'd say, okay.

What good is the row shape for lesson planning?
Although there are several ways the row planner can be used, I will list two.

1. Row planners lend themselves easily for use as a daily planner.

2. While the row planner can be used for day by day plans, row planners can be used for grouped plans. What I mean is this:
Instead of writing Monday-Lesson 1,Tuesday-lesson 2, (and so forth). The Grouped Plans will be written like this:
This *week complete Lessons 1-4 and ... .
*week could be something else such as a set of dates or a term length

A Row Planner Surrounded by a Calendar

one of my more odd planners - Donna

Unique row planners that have a 5-month calendar running all around the edge. Impress your homeschool buddies with these fancy planners. They are available in PDF. Each planner has nine rows. - Only from Donna Young

This is an image of the top of the planner. The weekends are gray. The months are noted somewhere along the line of dates. There is a line instead of a worded header. Each file will start with a month and end around 5 months later. The beginning date may or may not be at the first of the month and the very last date may or may not be the last day of the month. Use these for a daily planner, weekly planner, or some other type of time-span planner. All of the files in this style are PDF. The font used is Garamond.

The Files are Named after the Starting Month

The files have been updated for 2024.

Garamond Font

The font used on the "Surrounded by a Calendar" row planner is Garamond and should look nice in a planner book that uses files from any of my other planner filler files that use Garamond. Quite a few of them use Garamond. Here is a list:

• A Fragmentary Account (italic Garamond)
• Printable School Calendars with 13-Months
• 13-Month Matrix Green Calendar
• Garamond Collection And High School Forms
• Homeschool Portfolio Lesson Planner (some all-caps in Garamond)
