I've been using Notion for a couple of years now (for my own stuff and some homeschool recording) this year is the first year that I've created a template and shared it with my oldest for her to fill in each week. I love seeing how others use Notion and different organizing systems, thanks for sharing, Angie!

[@sciencemama]

Haha, I started using it to organize my KZbin content and realized that it would be perfect for homeschooling too :)

[@laurawright7836]

This is great, thank you. I've been using trello and feel my thoughts are still all over the place. I hope by playing around with this and seeing other examples i can get a better idea of how to organize. Sometimes being open-ended is a detriment!

[@sciencemama]

I agree ... the blank page can be so intimidating!

[@fancyflamingo123]

I love this! I keep all of these type of notes/docs in Google Docs/Google Sheets but I have thought about transitioning it all into Google Classroom.

[@terrim2448]

I do same thing but on trello. I use free édition and have a workspace for each school year. I like the checklist options and added pictures for subjects and books. I also keep a read aloud lists and it’s awesome!!

[@sciencemama]

I thought about Trello!

[@amandarada3242]

Great video! Thank you! Ive been thinking about using Notion and then pop! You came out with a video! Love it! And I totally relate about wanting to go back and remember what i/we thought and did in homeschooling 4 years ago! I have even thought having a KZbin channel would be a great idea (even if i never had a follower) so i could record our honeschooling journey!

[@sciencemama]

Actually having a KZbin channel has been nice for that ... I have a few years of videos I can go back to! But, I like Notion better :)

[@annamurry6995]

I like this! I hadn't heard of Notion. I looked at Trello but that was intimidating to me, and then I looked at the online Homeschool Panda and Homeschool Planet but didn't want to go that granular. This looks like a decent option to try!

[@sciencemama]

I thought about Trello too ... but I liked the features in Notion! I honestly just watched a bunch of videos on Notion setup and slowly taught myself :)

[@monicamoskovics8686]

I think this is great! Thank you for sharing! I use Notion for my weekly planning because the pace of different lessons across Book Shark , IEW and math it was driving me bananas. I kind of work opposite as you, my daily is in Notion and my paper is more of my reflections and journaling. Interesting how everyone's brain works differently! I just started compiling a list of all the curriculum I have stored (so I don't repurchase and can start reusing with my younger kiddos). It currently lives in Trello, but I could see it living in a few places as my organization methods grow with me. Best of luck in your new school year!

[@sciencemama]

I love that you use it pretty much opposite of me! I can see why that would be appealing :)

[@anniee6698]

Very cool! I’ve really enjoyed your planning videos this summer. I have a question about how you use sonlight’s map points and timeline. Do you just follow the instructors guide or do you do the timeline once a week and then Map points once a week? Just curious how you actually implement it. I’m trying to figure out how I want to do it this year. I don’t necessarily always want to stop reading, pull that stuff out so I think I might do them once a week. Thank you!

[@sciencemama]

I tend to talk about the map points at the time it is mentioned (stop the reading) and then the timeline figures at the end of the reading ... I don't feel like stopping the reading for the figures really helps with the understanding.

[@jennyharmony1371]

What template did you use for the big picture planning that showed curriculum? Sorry trying to work on Notion and be less confused!

[@sciencemama]

Haha, that is actually the page I want to work on because I copied and pasted the information from an excel document and it didn't go in really well ... but it is usable!
