How do you plan your homeschool calendar? Do you homeschool year ‘round? Follow the public school schedule? Play it by ear? No matter how you do it, this big academic calendar will help you keep track of it all.

Big calendar with great features

NeuYear offers a big calendar perfect for planning your homeschool year. You can choose between a paper calendar or a dry erase calendar, both of which are poster size and printed with a school year that runs from July 2013 to June 2014. Both are also double-sided, offering vertical and horizontal views.

It features the entire year at a glance, which makes planning easy, and includes weekends, which is ideal for families who don’t school during the typical work week. Plus, including the weekends means that you can mark out family activities in addition to those for school.

It’s even got space to include a color-coded key right on the map. Color-coding means that you can use different colors for different students or different events, such as school, family activities, and appointments.

Homeschool Calendar

I always say that my kids aren’t those “love of learning” types, but that’s not exactly correct. They do enjoy learning about topics that interest them. Math? Not so much.

My kids do enjoy learning new things, but like any kid (or adult, for that matter), they prefer their off days during which they can do what they want. I mean, seriously, how many adults do you know who don’t eagerly take their vacation days from work. (Yes, I know they’re out there, but they’re in the minority.)

The big homeschool calendar from NeuYear allows us all to see, quickly and easily, our school days and our scheduled breaks. That means we all know when we have to suck it up and do what needs to be done, but we can look forward to that next break week, knowing exactly when it will be here. That’s usually just enough motivation to get in there and get the not-as-fun stuff done.

  1. We have been doing 6 Weeks on, 1 week off this year, and it works great. This would be perfect for me, as I’ve been using a teacher plan book and can’t find it half the time!

  2. We used to do the 6 weeks on/one week off but now we have a foster child in public school so we are mostly sticking to the same calendar they use except we started a few weeks BEFORE they did, so we can take more random days off (birthdays, just-because-days, etc.) and we will be done about 2 weeks before they are. Next summer we’re starting back to the 6 week/one week schedule. It’s better for them, so they dont “lose” what they’ve learned.

  3. I would love winning this calendar! It would help me GET a schedule in place, which my son would love, since he’s always asking me what’s going on for the day! This would be perfect.

  4. Love this giveaway. We’re just beginning our homeschool journey and staying organized (one of my favorites) is not coming easily for me. No idea why but it just is. This would be a step in the right direction for us!

  5. We don’t follow a set schedule of school, but we do like to have breaks every now and then.

    I would love to win this calendar to keep track of daily activities and appointments!

  6. Being pregnant with boy #6 we have taken an even more condensed schedule of 3 weeks on and 1 week off (it also works well that way with our program). We have allotted all of November (I’m due then) and all of December off and then we will either be going to 6,1 or the 9, 2 schedule. I’ve not quite decided as I’m not sure how the newest little one will alter our schedule.

  7. We are doing the 6 on/1 off schedule this year and we’re loving it. We’ve had one week “off” (but I actually used it to focus on Science and History lessons that we kinda skipped on some of our “bad days”). It really lowered our stress level.

  8. this is our first year of homeschool and we decided to follow the public school year just to make things more familiar to our second grader. But I really think I want to do 6 on and 1 off next time around, regular breaks would make us all a lot happier and less stressed I think!

  9. We school year round and take random days off, as needed.

    Thanks for sharing the calendar info and the giveaway!

  10. We homeschool and have some kids in public school. We mostly follow the public school calendar now, but have plenty of days for fun.

  11. Right now, we are using a very loose year round schedule, as we are just starting preschool! Love this calendar and all your suggested homeschool calendars. When we begin a “real” homeschool schedule, I will be coming back to this post!

    Thanks!

  12. we have been doing most days year round. We try to do something every day without any schedule just yet but I would love to start getting them more scheduled as they get older

  13. We are (finally!) trying to organized and keeping track of our schooling. This year we have 1 child attending VPK, so I’m loosely following the school calendar.

  14. We are roughly following the public school schedule this year. As it is our first year homeschooling, we will see hour it works out… The 6 weeks on, 1 week off is intriguing to me! 🙂
    Thanks for the great giveaway!!

  15. We go by the public school calender since my daughter goes to school and we homeschool our son. we try to keep them on the same schedule as much as possible
