Master Planner CD-ROM
Because homeschoolers are such a diverse group, it’s hard to find one planner that works for everyone. This CD-ROM offers a wonderful solution - over 150 forms you can choose from to create your own unique planner. You can vary it year by year to match your ever-changing needs. Designed by a graphic artist and homeschool mom, these forms were created to be effective, neat, and time-saving. Simply print out as many of each type as you want, hole-punch them, and stick them in a binder for your personalized planner. While there are too many to list here, here are some highlights: annual plan, high school transcript, daily and weekly checklists, monthly study forms for a variety of topics, nature journal, calendar, allowance tally, babysitter information, birthday list, health, chore chart, contact list, family budget, graph chart, menu planner, project plan, reading goals, math tables, diagrams, and much, much more. Win/Mac compatible; requires Adobe Reader (a free download). - Melissa

I bought this CD over a year ago and have found it to be a valuable tool! It has sooo many helpful forms on it, for everything you can think of. It also has several special things like reading achievement charts that the kids found to be extra special incentives. Yes, you could live without them - but they make school alot more fun and since they are included with all the very necessary forms in this product they simply add to the pleasure! There are several different styles of 'planner' pages to suit lots of different schooling styles so there is bound to be something there that works just right for you no matter if you use a canned curriculum or a unit study. It has so much on it that it is an excellent value for money too! I would highly recommend it and regularly have to rescue it from being stolen by my friends! LOL!

First off, let me say that I am what you might call "organizationally challenged". I can't tell you how many times I've bought a teacher planner or organizer, started filling it out, and then realized I had no idea what I was doing! Some of those planners are just plain confusing. That is what sets the Master Planner apart. I was thrilled to see there is a folder labeled "Help" on this CD. Open it up, and there is a sample page for every form. No more trying to guess how to use a linear calendar (I didn't even know what one was until I bought this CD, and now I see what a helpful resource it is!) The Master Planner contains just about everything I've seen in any other homeschool planner, but a lot more. In addition to several types of calendars (weekly, yearly, blank, subject headings, no subject headings, etc.) it also has forms to keep track of field trips, lessons, music practice, spelling test forms, math tables, and much more. There are blank report cards for kindergarten through high school, and monthly progress reports. This planner is great for unit studies, as there are forms for planning, keeping track of resources, and summarizing things learned from unit studies. There were several items in this planner that I wasn't expecting to see, but have been very helpful like budget forms, expense chart, menu planner, and lots of other household needs. I've put everything together in a binder separated by dividers. It's so handy to have everything in one place! Whenever I want to add another form, I just print it off and pop it into the binder. That's the greatest thing about this CD: you decide what forms you want to use, what goes where, and how many pages you need of each form. I think this CD is a great value, because for the price of one planner, you can print out as many as you want. I've even made a planner for my 11 year old to keep track of her assignments and music practice. This CD has definitely made a positive impact on our household, and is probably the best homeschool purchase I've made in years.

This CD-rom has some great forms on it. I especially like the ones for the animal, musician, Scripture, etc. "of the month". Other forms will also be useful for me. My biggest complaint with this product is that the pages are only available as PDF's - and I can't figure out how to type my information in and print out a neat looking document. If you don't mind printing out and hand-writing everything in, you'll be tickled with this CD-ROM.
