A big part of our homeschool is planning. Each week we have a family homeschool planning meeting. The Well Planned Day planners play a major role in our writing down of assignments and overall accountability.
My sixth grade daughter, a new middle schooler, uses the Student Planner exclusively. She used a Student Planner last year as a fifth grader as well. And for weeks, her planner has stayed, perched on the end table right beside the chair where she sits to read. It’s handy there!

In Summary
The Well Planned Day planners are wonderful tools that help us aim for success. They encourage us with Godly quotes, help us to remember and focus on what is most important.
Quote from Student Planner: On January 12, 1723, I made a solemn dedication of myself to God, and wrote it down; giving up myself, and all that I had to God; to be for the future, in no respect, my own; to act as one that had no right to be himself, in any respect. And solemnly vowed to take God for my whole portion and felicity; looking on nothing else, as any part of my happiness, nor acting as if it were; and His law for the constant rule of my obedience: engaging to fight against the world, the flesh and the devil, to the end of my life. ~ Jonathan Edwards

I actually use one curriculum for everyone, but I plan to let our boys each pick one thing they want all of us to study further.
I plan with my calendar. It would be nice to have a planner that size.
This is our first year homeschooling so the kids have given a lot of inupt on things.
Just what we need !
I use the same curriculum for my children; however, they tell me things they want to do or go see and we schedule as much as we can. This planner would sure help!
We would <3 a student planner for my 16 yr. old..not that she needs it :}
This is our first year at home, so we are sort of winging it for now. DS has been telling me what sorts of things he wants to learn, and I take it from there. A little more structure would probably do us good. š
My children help at the beginning of the year with the choosing of books, and more.
I love planners and organizing. Would love to win the planner. Thanks for the info!

this is my first year and I’m going to have my daughter help me with what she wants to learn and go from there.
usually I just fill out what is needing to be done, but after a few weeks, if something isn’t working out well we discuss then how to change it, either less work or more, or ditching that item all together, that’s when I get their input
My daughter just started highschool, so she is planning more of what she reads and she gets to choose from an activity list which activities she does every week for History, Art, and English. Since my daughter is more independent with high school this year, my 6th grade son got to choose which units of history he would like to cover this year.
I think this looks great. I have 10th and 8th grade girls if would be great for.
My son just started 9th grade and this would be a blessing to me as I need to start keeping records and to organize everything. Thank-You for the opportunity. š
My 5th grader really loves to write her work down. Since I do all our planning on our iCloud calendars she misses the little check boxes! I think she would really enjoy having her own planner also.
I have always used a composition book. This would be nice and organized for my fifth grader.
I’ve done most of the planning this year with some input from my son as to what he would like added to his studies. As he gets older, I would like for him to gradually take over the planning for his own lifelong education. Teach him how then let him do.
Just perfect! I need one more!
I loved my Well-Planned Day planner last year. This year I couldn’t fit it in my budget, so I’ve tried to do without it, but I am so lost!! Would love to win one. My oldest child would particularly benefit from its use.
I use the Well-Planned day for the all of our kiddos, but the student edition would be great for our 6th grader as we encourage him to take more ownership of his schoolwork.
