Little Bears Family Homeschool

Sample Primary Plan

To give you an idea of how I've been using the form I devised to do my monthly homeschool planning, below are the "course requirements" for December 1999. As you will see, the theme (unit study) was Christmas, but not all subjects are involved in the theme.

If the individual subject courses are completed, motivational stars or stickers are awarded, (and may be counted towards an end of year subject certificate) and if every subject course is completed, a certificate may be awarded.
