Semester Plans

Your semester plan is your master lesson plan for the semester. This is where you will record the texts and materials you are using for each subject, and how and when you plan to cover them. A semester plan helps you to see the big picture and gives you a structure for your school schedule. The semester plan needs to be completed sometime before the end of LP1 (9/12).

I have made a template for you and and example of how one parent might fill it out for their 2nd grader. You can view a copy of the template here. The example is here. Please look them over to get familiar with the basic idea.

You do not need to use this format. If you have another way you would like to organize this information, that is totally fine. I just need a copy.

I plan to provide a copy of the template to you during our first meeting, and help you to fill it out. However, if you would like to get started on it now, send me an email or shoot me a text and I will get it to you sooner.

Let me know if you have any questions or need any help.

First Meeting Agenda

• Meet :)
• Approve curriculum, help with ordering (if possible, have your curriculum out and handy)
• Answer questions about vouchers and ordering
• Provide grading policy
• Go over attendance
• Go over work samples
• Collect work samples (2 for each subject per LP)*
• Set up semester plan, discuss assignments and scheduling

*If we are meeting the first week of school, I don't expect that you will have 2 samples per subject. I will just collect what you do have and answer questions about work samples for our next meeting :)
