This ‘Order Out Of Chaos Academic Planners Review’ is sponsored by Order Out Of Chaos. As always, all opinions are my own.
Whether homeschooling, teaching, college bound, or public schooled, having a system to keep organized is always a good thing. Personally, we’re a homeschooling family. (Check out these top 10 tips for new homeschoolers if you’re considering homeschooling too!) While I do pretty good with keeping my younger crew on task, organized, and caught up with schoolwork, the older ones have a little more leniency. That also means they need some help keeping things in order and organized. Order Out Of Chaos to the rescue!
Order Out Of Chaos Academic Planners Review
I was first introduced to Order Out Of Chaos last year. It was the first year I didn’t order a full ‘box’ curriculum for my oldest two kids. Instead, we pieced together a full year of schooling utilizing a variety of different resources. To help keep the kids on track, I utilized an Order Out Of Chaos Academic Planner. I wrote notes in the front for what I wanted them to do each day as well as additional things to complete each semester. Then on a day-to-day basis, they wrote down and tracked what was accomplished. Shortly into the year, we also decided to have the kids bring us their planners each day so we could sign off on what they completed. (This was helpful for accountability.)

I’m a city girl turned country by my awesome husband and we have three busy boys and two darling daughters. I love spending time with my family, reading Karen Kingsbury novels, and catching up with friends while our kiddos have play dates. I’m blessed beyond measure and can’t wait to see what God has in store.

These look like really good academic planners; Out of Chaos is awesome! I homeschool my kids and although we take it a lot easier during the summer, we still do school. Planners, schedules, and lists really help me stay on track and get things done. It really does help to be organized when it comes to school!

I remember years ago a college freshman almost failed out of school. He kept saying but the teacher did not remind him to do stuff. We finally got it thru his head that it was his job to remember to do the work. So we taught him how to use planners. I used planners every day in my work life and they kept me on track. Today the little I need I do on my phone.
Planners are great for all kinda students.

I sure could use one of these.

Academic planners are must, not just for home schooling, but for college, as well. Using a planning calendar really helped me keep up with everything in college both academic and personal. Getting in the habit early on of using a planning calendar is a great idea.
This would be perfect for one of the girls. She is going into Middle School for the first time. She needs this.
