REVIEW of Sonlight Homeschool Planner + Current Working Binder Setup (Including Planner)

Honestly, this planner works perfectly for me ... especially as a Sonlight Mom! In this video, I review the planner as well as show you how I use it within my Sonlight working binder (i.e. my mom brain)! Have you tried the planner?

I am so glad you did this video. I have the planner but haven’t started using it yet.

Those "Curriculum Plan" pages are a really nice layout!

[@Rach609or]

Such a helpful video! Thank you! I was just setting mine up and had it pretty similar to yours from what you had said in the other videos. The "working binder" is SUCH a good idea and we're doing it too. At first I was just going to use the workbooks or sheets, but liked how you didn't have to pull out things DAILY by making a 5-7 week working binder. Definitely think it'll make things run more smoothly!

The working binder is a life saver :)

Oh..when you start on the Thursday, what does that 2 day schedule look like? Do you jump into curriculum or take the days to show the kids the new curriculum books, talk about routines, what they'll learn, etc? Or do you just ease into the curriculum so the first full week isn't so heavy?

[@sciencemama]

I take the first day for all the fun stuff - interviews, pictures, fun new supplies, food ... we rarely get any school done on day 1!

Can’t wait to see your video on Notion! I have spent countless hours setting mine up and I’m still not done🤣 I might ditch the whole thing. 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@sciencemama]

I just posted the video yesterday!! Haha, it is a lengthy process ... I actually figured it out by watching videos on recipe and KZbin content creation setups! I couldn't find a homeschooling notion video!

So fun! I really like the simplicity of the sonlight planner as well. I did try to use it but my only complaint was the quality of the paper. I like to use different color pens for each kid on the planning pages and I was getting too much bleeding into the next week. I went back to Plum Paper unbound. I definitely paid for the paper though… the price is steep. I was thinking about your family as we started school this week in HBL C and Science C. Wondering if it was just me or is there a lot more reading than in B 😂 maybe I’m just out of practice from our break. Hope your school year is off to a great start! ♥️

[@sciencemama]

I've used Plum Paper before - they are so beautiful!! Haha, yes there is a lot more reading, especially for history!

[@MrsMamaBerg]

What flex binder do you use for your working binder? Can you add a link for the flex binder that you use?

[@sciencemama]

I have it linked in my Amazon shop! www.amazon.com/shop/sciencemama

[@BearBettermentSchool]

I wonder what you would think of this method: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5jMfH2FfLF7nas Seems like it would save so much time. How do you feel about digital vs paper? Really looking forward to the notion view!

[@sciencemama]

It was a really intriguing video!
