Homeschool Planner 2019-2020 designed with Muslim home educators in mind

Homeschool planner designed for Muslim home educators

Edit: This planner is no longer available to purchase. 
Nothing beats the warm fuzzy feeling when an empty homeschool planner presents itself; an invitation to recreate our homeschool just as a fresh coat of paint gives a new lease of life to old tired walls.

I'm super excited to share our updated Homeschool planner for 2019-2020!

This production has truly been a labour of love....truth be told I am a bit of a planning nerd. Although I have to tell you, sometimes the planning is a little more fun than the implementation of it all.

Its specifically designed for the Muslim Homeschooler, with both Islamic as well as secular quotes relating to education scattered throughout to sprinkle a little inspiration when you need it.

You can choose from two cover titles:
homeschool planner cover choices

I realise homeschool planning can be overwhelming. I get it. And so I've created a package to help provide support as you use the Planner to ensure you really get the best out of it this year inshaAllah....all explained at the end of this post.

Come with me as I take you on a tour inside....

Homeschool planner 2019-2020

So what's in this years Homeschool planner?


Loads!

It's divided into seven sections; each with its own tabbed divider designed with a quote from the Qur'an, hadith or Ulema. 
homeschool planner sections with Islamic Quotes

Introduction pages:


Includes:
  • Title page
  • Emergency contacts
  • Contacts
Contacts pages for the Homeschool planner

Our Calendar


Includes:
  • Year at a glance - covering August 2019-December 2020
  • Individual monthly calendar, again running all the way to the end of 2020
Year at a glance and monthly calendar for the homeschool planner

When we think of a calendar, what usualy comes to mind is marking future events, dates we need to remember. It's obvious. 

However calendars are brilliant tools to "plan backwards" - penning down your activities after they occurred as a way to record all those spontaneous last minute plans or activities that get forgotten once its all over and done. 

Throughout the year you'll be surprised at how much you have done with your family; which will help give you a boost, because we never think about each time we walked through a park, or took an impromptu trip to the local museum.

 It's also helpful to have on hand when you need to provide your homeschool accounts for your Local Authority (if they contact you!)

Monthly Homeschool Reflections

Includes:
  • A double page layout for each month of the year.
    Each month displays a different secular quote relating to homeschool and education to inspire.
Monthly homeschool reflections for the planner

Out of the whole planner, this section is actually my favourite and I'd say in my opinion, the most valuable.
It's designed to help you take a birds-eye view at your homeschool over the past month, and the month coming forward. 

Many of us tend to look at our homeschool once a year objectively; pondering on what has worked and what hasn't, and then trying to map out how we can rejuvenate the next homeschool year and bring back the excitement again inshaAllah. 

What if we were to spend a few minutes each month doing this, instead of only at the end of each school year?

What might happen, if at the end of the month we sit comfortably with our favourite hot drink, and take a little time to reflect on the past four or five weeks?

Giving time to recognise the paydays that occurred...those little successes and triumphs that our family experienced, which usualy we pay little attention to; the maths challenge beaten without tears, the kind word spoken by a sister to a sibling, the mini book about Poetry Teatime that was secretly made to surprise you with. See the successes of your homeschool and treasure them for what they are: success.

To ponder upon the challenges of that month, addressing how we can tweak and make positive adjustments working forward into the next inshaAllah. 

To dig deep, and consciously reflect upon everything we are truly thankful for over the past month that again, rarely gets noticed.

To realise the lessons that we as an educator have learnt, not the lessons our children have- and I'm not referring to maths or history here. I'm talking about the lessons of being a homeschooler, of being a mother, of helping our children through this journey we chose for them. 

And then to take all these reflections, and use them to positively influence the forthcoming month bi'ithnillah.

This is exactly what the Monthly Homeschool Reflection pages are about.

Daily planner printable for your homeschool day

This section is designed to assist getting our homeschool in order.

I've tried to include a variety of different homeschool forms commonly used so you can pick and choose which pages you need, and leave the ones you don't.

For example, if you don't use the workbox system, you won't need the workbox planner....and if you do, you'll find several different layouts to choose from depending on the number of boxes you use (12, 10, 8, or 6).
Similarly, if you don't do morning time, leave off the Morning Time ideas page.

Print what you need, leave what you don't.

The children


Includes:
  • Attendance record
  • Grade tracker
  • Reading log
  • Qur'an Tracker (includes blank days)
  • My goals (for the children to complete)
  • What I think about our homeschool (for the children to complete)
  • Know my child
  • Student goal setter 
Qur'an tracker page from the homeschool planner printable

This section aside from the trackers, is really about helping you to see your child for who they are, and using that information to help you plan your upcoming year inshaAllah.

It contains an excellent tool to help you see through your childrens eyes: My goals and what I think about our homeschool - to be completed by your children.

These pages are an invitation to your child to share their thoughts, feelings, and ideas around homeschool (no matter their age).

This invitation can provide you with a wealth of insight about your kids experiences that will certainly aid you in your homeschool plans inshaAllah.
Also when we get our children involved in the pre-planning process, we show them that their education is something they are part of, rather than being something which is *done* to them.

Our Lesson Planner


Includes:
  • Morning time week ahead 
  • Topic plan 
  • Detailed lesson plan 
  • 4 week lesson outline - double page spread to map out 4 weeks of homeschool.
  • This week's lesson planner.
Plan your lessons or unit study with a topic planSo this is where we get to the juice of the whole operation.....the lesson planning, sprinkled with some education related quotes to keep motivation levels up inshaAllah.
I love a good quote!

The Topic plan page helps you to map out a lesson, project or unit study before you pen the Detailed Lesson plan.
I liken the Topic Planning page to the pre-baked bread you can buy in the supermarket to stick in your oven at home, allowing you to put down on the kitchen table a freshly baked loaf in half the time. 

In a similar fashion, it prompts you to create an overview for your lesson or project, that you will use as a map to direct your more detailed plan. Because you have your map, the lesson planning will be a much quicker process inshaAllah. 

Lesson plan with homeschool quotes of inspirationThen you have the 4 week lesson outline, a set of 10 double pages for up to 40 homeschool weeks. Each 4 week block has an awesome quote to help you think about your kids as you map out your month. 

lesson plan with Islamic quotes

Also included is a set of 52 Weekly lesson planning pages, with a choice of up to 6 subjects or 10. Each page shows a unique (referenced) Islamic quote relating to education or parenting.

Weekly family planner page with hadith of the week -part of the homeschool planner printable
This is another of my favourite pages; the weekly family planner.

A set of 52 pages so you have one for every week of the year, each featuring a unique Hadith of the Week for you and your family to focus on.

A super cute mini weekly table to jot down any outside appointments, classes or playdates, plus a dinner menu so you can be sure that you won't be stuck staring in the kitchen cupboards trying to figure out what to eat.

Although you can see the Week Ahead Family Planner pictured above is in the binder, I'm actually going to stick mine up on the kitchen noticeboard where it will be seen by everyone inshaAllah.

Planning Club

Now to the support package I talked about right at the start....

I get it, planning our homeschool can be overwhelming.....so I'm here to help.

I've created A Muslim Homeschool's Planning Club - a private members only Facebook group exclusively for every sister who purchases the Planner (Telegram group is also available for those who prefer not to use Facebook...or use both), so that I can help you work through it in your homeschool until the end of April 2020 inshaAllah, when we'll close right before the start of Ramadan.
I'll be there to help answer any planning related questions and together as a community, we can champion each other on!

Not only that, but we'll have 8 Themed topics to help you utilise the planner and get the best out of your homeschool organisation and planning inshaAllah.
We'll deep-dive into a different planning related area each month starting in September through to April 2020 (if you join after September you'll have immediate access to all material posted since September up to the month you have signed up)
We'll explore the chosen subject through readings, guided activities or links to further online resources.

A Muslim Homeschool's Planning Club monthly theme schedule

What you will receive:
  • Our Homeschool Planner 2019-2020 PDF (please note this is a PDF file to print, not a physical product) including separate files for each page and alternate layout options where applicable.
  • Homeschool Planning eBook Guide to help you work through the Homeschool Planner.
  • Exclusive access to the private Facebook group: A Muslim Homeschool's Planning Club
  • Alternatively for sisters who prefer not to use Facebook, a Telegram group (or use both).
    (Telegram is a free mobile app like Watsapp - however it can also be accessed on the PC / laptop and also keeps phone numbers anonymous)
  • Extra monthly resources to help you utilise the planner and your homeschool organisation.
Let's make this year our best homeschool year with a Muslim Homeschool

How to compile your homeschool planner?


Please note, your purchase is in a PDF format, not a physical product. You will be required to print and place either inside a ring binder of your choosing, or get it spiral bound.

The advantage of using a ring binder over getting spiral bound (I feel), is you don't need to print everything of in one go.
You have the freedom to print the pages as you need them each week or each month and just add them into the binder - this is particularly useful for the daily planning pages, and some of the lesson planning pages where you'll need to print multiple copies. Instead of mass printing you can print as you need.

Homeschool Planner designed for Muslim homeschoolers - awesome tools to help you plan your homeschool year and make it the best one yet inshaAllah

  3. Assalaam alaikum sister. I am interested in homeschool resources to help my son who is Thirteen and has been studying Quran and Arabic and general subjects at school but has become demotivated after many of his friends left the school. I am.looking for English and Arabic language resources and was wondering if you have anything for this older age group.

    1. Wa alaikum asalaam wa rahmatullah,

      Arabic resources - Have you looked at the Madina Arabic books? It is the same curriculum taught to non-Arab speakers when they enter the University of Madinah. There have been newer versions of the book published which are coloured and probably better suited to teens that the old black and white versions (the red books) - darusalaam sell a new hardback copy


      Iman's homeschool blog has some excellent resources to use alongside the madina books.


      With English - have you looked at Bravewriter?

      Its an excellent English writing program which helps to develop children's writing - you can use it as a stand alone curriculum, or use alongside any other curriculum you are following
