We may not have a “traditional” school year, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t get giddy when the new Schoolhouse Planners were released. Regardless or school year beginning and end dates, the planners make the transition seamless because you can use what you want and need from them. They are beautiful and full of not only great planning guidelines but great information, too! “Big Mama” has over 800 pages of great planning and resources! One of my favorites, which I mentioned in my SchoolhouseTeachers.com review is the Special Learners planner. It has additional resources for homeschooling special needs children.
Members of SchoolhouseTeachers.com get ALL of these planners for FREE with their membership! Membership starts at just $3 for the first month and $12.95/month after. It is full of so many resources including these great planners! Each planner can be purchased individually as well for those that are not SchoolhouseTeachers.com members. Here is more information about each planner:
The “Big Mama” Planner, as I mentioned, has over 800 pages of forms and resources! It has everything you need to stay organized and stay on track! The “Big Mama” is $39.00 when purchased individually. The “Big Mama” includes:
- Helpful articles that are written by homeschooling experts. Not only are they homeschooling experts – they are homeschooling parents as well.
- Organization. It has calendars, planning pages, field trip logs, and transcripts.
- Must-have lists. This includs books of the Bible, grammar and spelling rules, a periodic table of the elements, U.S. Presidents and more!

The Special Learners Planner has some extra forms and information for those that are homeschooling special needs and gifted children. The Specials Learner Planner can be purchased for $29.00 when purchased individually. The Special Learners Planner Includes:

- Organization. It has interactive calendars, planning pages, and household organization charts.
- An SEP (similar to an IEP), medical and therapy forms (a great way to track all of those appointments), and weekly food and behavior diaries. The weekly food and behavior diaries are a great way to see if there is any correlation to food and behavior as well.

- Recipes. Many recipes they can help make and many are gluten free!
