In reply to Dawn. Good for you, Dawn! We're good at heaping the guilt on thick, aren't we? ;)

Two years ago I switched to this yearly planning method as well and it was somewhat freeing. I found I was still chained by the curriculum and this coming school year I am switching to the open & go for History & Science as those have required tooooo much prep this year. I’ve had guilt over the choice and your post relieves me of that guilt! Thank you!

In reply to Brenda Johnson. Oh good! Glad you've found that this works for you too. I have never spent weeks to plan. But the curriculum you choose does make all the difference.

That post made me feel so much better! That is how I do things. We started in October and every once in a while I think about the summer and figure I’d better block out a few weeks to plan out the year in detail. I definitely prefer our curriculum that is open and go.

I had been homeschooling for five years before a friend (another homeschooling mom) suggested this approach. It changed my life! Thanks for sharing this idea along with the open-and-go curriculum options and Trello (definitely looking into that!).
