I don't think leaving the shelf in the baby's room is a good idea. My 2 year old would have all the books shredded and would be sitting on the top shelf screaming at the top of his lungs because he doesn't know how to get down

Yes, I relate to that. There may come a point where we have to adjust but for now he doesn't know how to get out of his crib and doesn't seem to want to because he like being in bed. So for now...

Last year my husband graciously gave up his office for us to have a homeschool room. I’m currently in the process of giving it back! As the year went on we found ourselves doing more school back at the big table and the whole home classroom just wasn’t really what we thought it would be lol. I’m back to big table and some bookshelves myself! Thanks for sharing.

I bought a pdf planner a few yrs ago and it was ok but I needed other pages so I use it alongside other pages so I have a custom planner!!! We have to track attendance so I bought the school nest attendance tracker!!! Our homeschool advisor has no issues with a monthly book log!!! It works well for me!!! My older kids record what they do and my younger kids check it off!!!

I didn't create my checklist off of anything else...just based on what I felt I needed to accomplish. Or do you mean, more of a checklist for the skills needed to be accomplished by each grade? For that I would go to something like the 'Homeschooling Year by Year' book. Sorry if this doesn't answer your question...I wasn't quite sure what exactly you're asking for...

So, I'm switching after C because I feel like D is more focused on grammar and spelling than on 'the learning to read/phonics' part of language arts. I wanted to use LOE mainly for the reading part. After C, my daughter is reading very well for her grade and I feel comfortable moving on to what I want to use for grammar, spelling, writing, etc more long term. I plan to put out a video sharing what we're using now that we're not doing LOE anymore.
