One Column Planners
The column planners on this page might be useful as a Daily Homeschool Planner. I've included a representational image of each file. Choose the format that you prefer - pdf or doc.
The frog image is a link to a suggestion with a small amount of instructions for placing images on the doc planners. I've included two sample files, including the one with the frog.
PDF
Note: Clicking on the doc links might load your word processor inside of your default browser, making editing more difficult. Read how to get around that on the By Columns home page, 4th paragraph.
Ideas For The Column Homeschool Lesson Planners
The first thing to realize is that the column planners are mix and match. By choosing forms based on what you need, you can put together a home school planner that might be a good fit.
The doc files are editable, and if there are not enough blocks, you can add one or two. You can change the color of the grid lines. You can add background images. There is an example of background images below.
Files with Frog Images Inserted
6 Rows
Ruled
The images are from Microsoft's Online Clipart, which I accessed from Word. I used the search word, frog.
The images are placed in the Header/Footer and then the images are "Formatted."
These things were done to the images:
Resized: The image in the ruled file was increased by just less than 300%.
The Layout was changed to Behind Text.
The image in the Ruled file was faded a bit. That is done at the Picture tab. I used the settings 70% Brightness and 30% Contrast.
This write-up is based on Word 2002.
