It’s that time of year for homeschoolers, when most families are wrapping up their school year and thinking ahead and planning for the next school year. Homeschool convention season is already underway and many homeschool moms are pondering over the many curriculum options available for next year and are busy making lists based on what worked this past year, what didn’t, and what new things they’d like to add to the mix for next year.
We actually school year round, but come spring we are usually wrapping up whatever levels we are working on and it’s time to think about what to move onto next.
With all of the options available to homeschoolers these days, it can be a little overwhelming when it comes to making decisions, so it can be very helpful to have a good homeschool planner or planning pages to keep all of your choices organized and help you plan for the upcoming year.
So if you are in homeschool planning mode, here are a few favorite resources for planning your year and for helping you stay organized, plus some FREE printables that I have made to use in my yearly planning that I’m sharing with you below.

Love the printables! I’m getting ready to start homeschooling my oldest for the summer, and I am definitely in need of some good ones!
Lynn Estby says
I am a stay at home mother of ten so far. Another on the way. I love getting your post. But when I go to see them there pricey. I am currently trying to set up a nursery/kids program at church. we could really use some help. We have 0 funding. Please let me know if you have and suggestions. My time is running out. June is fast approaching
Sarah says
Hi Lynn – I’m not quite sure what you mean by ‘pricey’. These are printables that I offer for free.
Sheena says
I am actually thinking about designing my own homeschool planner too. I have used different ones but nothing seems to ever be the prefect fit for us.
Sarah says
That’s exactly why I made our own planning pages!
Kristine Hart says

Seth says
This is helpful, thanks for the resources!
My wife and I will be new to homeschooling this fall. I’ve been looking for some kind of iPhone app to track subject hours, since that’s a requirement for our state, but I haven’t been able to find anything. So I’m building the app instead. Would be interested in your thoughts. http://subjectsapp.com
Sarah says
With more and more people going digital, I think this is a great idea. Will it only be available on iPhones?
Crissy says
I’ve been using Homeschool Tracker for about a year and really like it. It took a while to get the hang of it (they have some great tutorial videos), but now I can’t imagine using anything else.
alicia says
I’m not able to use the link to download printables. It seems to be locked and just received the email. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

It suddenly worked after about 15 minutes. Not sure why it happened but thank you for the printables. They are wonderful!

Hi Sarah, I have loved these printables and am wondering when the calendar pages through 2017 will come out? Thank you! Katharine

Could I get some assistance, when I try to open my download it just gives me an error message and I believe I’ve exceeded my 5 attempts trying.
