The planner is currently in Beta stage and is full of sample data. The data should help you figure out how to use the planner should you decide to download it and have a look, which is good because there are no help files, I have to write those later. Like all V Planners, the file is only available to YoungMinds customers who have access to the V Planners. Remember, the file is beta, not final. I will announce when it is deemed final enough for actual use.

It is a monthly calendar and has no numbers, however; it is dated. Each month will have the right amount of date blocks in the proper places. The child should write the dates in the correct block, basically beginning with day 1 in the first block and writing numbers in sequence, across then down, until the blocks are filled. The child could also write the month and year, which is already noted on each month, and draw a seasonal picture on each month. Optionally, holidays could be noted. This calendar can potentially (depending on child's age) add to skills and knowledge in language arts, math, social studies, and drawing. 28 Nov 2012 016:00:00 EST http://donnayoung.org/household/articles/13-meals.htm http://donnayoung.org/household/articles/13-meals.htm 13 Meals - The Repeating Meal Method of Meal Planning - A method of meal planning that sorts menus not by date, but by meal names, more specifically, repeating meals.

This new style is a one-page monthly calendar that has ruled lines, most of which are dated. 16 Nov 2012 15:00:00 EST http://donnayoung.org/household/fullsize/month-on-a-page.htm http://donnayoung.org/household/fullsize/month-on-a-page.htm I came across a file that I had forgotten about. It is a "Month on a Page" type of calendar. This one is called List Top and I have a non-dated version of it at Calendars > Blank Calendars. Anyway, I made a whole lot of dated "List Top" calendars. 14 Nov 2012 13:00:00 EST http://donnayoung.org/calendars/blank-calendars.htm#year-long http://donnayoung.org/calendars/blank-calendars.htm Requested: Blank Calendar in the Blue Calendar style and the Frame Calendar style.

It's made in the same style as the Colonial Set. 13 Nov 2012 12:00:00 EST http://donnayoung.org/forms/planners/attendance.htm#attendanceh http://donnayoung.org/forms/planners/attendance.htm Attendance H - an attendance calendar that can be used for several children. I made 3 versions of this new attendance calendar - one for 2 children (1 page), one for 4 children (2 pages), and one for 7 children (3 pages). I am calling it Attendance H because it prints horizontally. 8 Nov 2012 14:00:00 EST http://donnayoung.org/english/grammar/prepositions.htm http://donnayoung.org/english/grammar/prepositions.htm While working on the page, Prepositional Phrases, I added files for the Thanksgiving song by Lydia Maria Child: Over the River and Through the Wood.

All files, game and lists, are found at this link. 1 Nov 2012 19:00:00 EST http://donnayoung.org/forms/planners/attendance.htm#2-page http://donnayoung.org/forms/planners/attendance.htm I was recently updating the files for the 2-page dated attendance form when I realized that I needed to make one more for August - one that included January in both the 1st and 2nd semesters. Our homeschool year typically started in August and the 2nd semester started in January. Once in a while the 1st semester used part of January. So now we have a 2-page attendance calendar with two Januaries. 30 Oct 2012 18:00:00 EST http://donnayoung.org/art/calendar-frame.htm http://donnayoung.org/art/calendar-frame.htm The calendar frame is a simple calendar with months that are listed in clockwise order. The header of the calendar frame is typeable; however the header can be made blank. The center part measures slightly less than 5 inches wide by 3 1/2 inches tall.

The set includes rule sizes from 1 inch to 1/4 inch in 1/8th inch increments in both fully ruled and blank-top. The 1/4 inch rule also comes in a booklet. I added one more size - 1/4 inch Tall, a rule size that allows one to write tall uppercase letters. 19 Oct 2012 16:00:00 EST http://donnayoung.org/forms/planners/daily.htm#dated http://donnayoung.org/forms/planners/daily.htm Someone recently asked me if I had a daily planner. I do, but today I had an idea for a spreadsheet file with which one can enter subjects and print daily planners, blank, with subjects and dates. I included a video that shows how it works. 17 Oct 2012 11:00:00 EST http://donnayoung.org/penmanship/blank-top-paper.htm#hbt-bw http://donnayoung.org/penmanship/blank-top-paper.htm Two years ago a woman emailed me and asked, "Where is the black and white blank top handwriting paper with the landscape orientation?" (My web site says that I have it) I looked at where it was supposed to have been and it was not there. ... And so I made a file with 7 hadwriting rule sizes and emailed the file to her and then I linked the file on the blank-top handwriting paper page without any description whatsoever - it was just a link. Today, 2 years later, I wonder, did I ever describe the link, make it user-friendly? No I didn't. And so today I fixed that. Now it is plain to see and easy to find the blank-top horizontal handwriting paper in 7 rule sizes. 14 Oct 2012 13:00:00 EST http://donnayoung.org/forms/v-planner/vp-videos.htm http://donnayoung.org/forms/v-planner/vp-videos.htm It has been almost two months since my last update; I've been busy, but, recently, to assist those who use the V Planner, I have made several new V Planner Videos.

I opened up Microsoft Excel and came up with a new 1/2 sized menu planner design. Originally I made the file so that it could be printed as a month-long booklet with the pdf booklet setting, which is what I needed. Shortly after that, I made my regular sort of printable 1/2-size file layout which does not use any special printer settings. Both are online. 11 Aug 2012 18:00:00 EST http://donnayoung.org/math/math-practice.htm http://donnayoung.org/math/math-practice.htm A new page with several math practice problem sets.

I noticed the plans are page numbers, and so for those who use the software rather than the book, I've added a 2-page table of contents for the purpose of translating the page numbers into heading names. While I was making that, I made a "planning file" of 16 pages, 1 per module that has on each page the table of contents and supply list per module as well as ruled lines for your planning notes. 20 Jul 2012 11:18:00 EST http://donnayoung.org/apologia/biology2.htm http://donnayoung.org/apologia/biology2.htm Lesson Plans for the two books (published by Apologia): The Human Body and Advanced Chemistry [2nd Ed.] are online.

After that I added a link to the art index on most of the pages in the art section. Naturally I wanted to make sure that all of the art pages are up to date and none are redundant, so I deleted all of the art pages at DY, then uploaded them again. It's extreme to delete pages from a live site, but it works. I'm always grateful that mid-way through the process that my internet doesn't go down. 21 Apr 2012 13:00:30 EST http://donnayoung.org/english-index.htm http://donnayoung.org/english-index.htm I've been updating the entire English section at donnayoung.org and while I was at this job, I added a link from all of my pages in the English section to the new English index page. 20 Apr 2012 15:00:30 EST http://donnayoung.org/english/language-arts-forms.htm http://donnayoung.org/english/language-arts-forms.htm Language Arts Forms - This page brings together forms that can be used for language arts.
