Are you planning for next year already? Are you getting excited about next year's school year? If you're like me, I know you are in full swing planning! I LOVE planning. Today, I get to share with you the Hey Mama! Print Schoolhouse Planner 2016-2017 from The Old Schoolhouse! It's a new planner from The Old Schoolhouse and it is amazing!!!
The Hey
Mama! Printed Schoolhouse Planner for 2016-2017 if amazing! It contains 192
pages filled with everything a homeschooling mama would want. First off, I love
the name of the planner. It’s perfect for all us homeschooling mamas! I know we
have all heard, “Hey Mama……..” coming from our sweet children over the years.
Sometimes it’s a pleasant calling other times those sweet kids are alerting you
to some major catastrophe occurring in our homes. This planner provides
everything we all want and need to stay organized but it also provides plenty
of fun and encouraging words along the way. I love the pictures thrown in here
and there. They remind me of days gone by. The pictures bring to mind my
grandmother, as well as all the generations of mamas that came before us. The
encouraging words and charming pictures help remind me that my job as a mama,
especially a homeschooling mama, is a very important job. And we all know that
there are days (like when the washer breaks down) we need a little reminder to
not take this time of our lives for granted.
The Hey
Mama! Printed Schoolhouse Planner 2016-2017 is broken up into 2 main sections,
Calendars and Homeschool Forms.
In these two sections, you will find the book
broken up into 223 sections.
Under the
Calendar section, you’ll find
2016
Calendar
2017 Calendar
2018 Calendar
Monthly Calendars with Notes and Letters
2017 Calendar
2018 Calendar
Monthly Calendars with Notes and Letters
The Yearly
calendars are great for mapping out your school year. I looked over the 2016
and 2017 calendars and highlighted the weeks we would be doing school. Bright
pink high liter makes planning our weeks quick and easy!
The monthly
calendar pages are exactly what they sound like….monthly calendars. This
section starts with July 2016 and ends with June 2017. You will get a full year of planning here.
Before each month, you’ll see a Hey Mama Note to read and then a blank note
page for the month, July 2016 Notes! This is great for writing down all you
might need to plan or consider for the upcoming month. It’s the perfect place
to write tentative plans.
The monthly calendar pages are blank. They are sitting there just waiting for some love! I immediately started filling in all holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, saint feast days, Holy Days of Obligations, co-op classes, field trips, meetings, appointments, etc. I used different colors of ink to make certain things stand out. I went one step further here and used stickers to make my planner more colorful and more me! I had some leftover scrapbooking stickers for the months and added them. So each month now has its own colorful month sticker in the corner. I am hoping this makes it easier to find the month I need. Each month also received a few colorful stickers with cute thematic ideas that went with the month. So for example, I added flip flop stickers to July and for March shamrock stickers for St. Patrick’s feast day.

I’m still
working on putting my plans in order for next year, so I haven’t used most of
these pages yet. I’m a little odd. I plan everything on the computer, printed
out all my plans, and then add them to an old fashion writing planner. So what
I’ll do is add a few weeks at a time to the Hey Mama! Planner. This way of
something alters the schedule or a child gets sick, I can easily adjust the
written schedule using my master plan printed from my computer files. My
husband things I’m crazy but the system works for me.
After all
the planning forms, you will find even more useful pages dealing with a variety
of topics!
36 General Writing Prompts
Story
Starters
The Thirteen
Colonies by Date (I could have used this 2 years ago!)
Timeline of
Inventions (These 2 pages are filled with some amazing inventions. It could add
some fun trivia into your kids’ lives)
U.S.
Presidents and their Wives with their years in office (It would have been nice
to have their party affiliations)
Branches of
the Federal, State, and Local Government
United
States and their Capitals (Order in Union, Dates of Statehood, Capital, and
Abbreviation)- This will come in handy since we will be resuming our state
study again next year.
I’ve saved
the best for last! At least I am excited for these pages. The Hey Mama! Planner
provides a page on how to create a transcript along with 2 forms to go along
with creating a transcript. This is perfect for me since both my kids will be
in middle school next year. ACK!!!! How did that happen/ I swear they were just
4 and 5 learning to read and spell. Now I have a preteen and a teenager. Time
sure does pass by quickly! Here’s my own Hey Mama note….. Enjoy those little
ones while you can. Those years go by much too quickly. You blink and their all
grown up before you very eyes.
So what did
I think of the planner?
I loved the
layout of the planner. It’s very easy to use and you can add anything and
everything you want. I used other planners in the past and have really enjoyed
them. My favorite from the past 2 years had a price change this past year
putting it slightly out of my price budget, so I had been searching for a new
planner. I just couldn’t find one with the set-up that I liked. The Hey Mama!
Was perfect. It was very similar to my old one, so I didn’t have to worry about
it being confusing.
