Hey Mama! Schoolhouse Planner - TOS Review

It is planning time for many homeschoolers, and we on the Schoolhouse review crew have a great product we want to let you know about. The Old Schoohouse has come up with a planner just for you homechool moms. They call it the Hey Mama! Print Schoolhouse Planner 2016-2017. As a planner junkie, even if I have a hate/love relationships with planning,  I personally find it very handy and useful.


First off I find this planner attractive to the eye. I love the pretty pictures and homey feel it has. I also love all the yearly calendars it comes with, right at the beginning of the planner. You have 2016, 2017, 2018 covered. The planner itself starts in July and ends in June. Each month takes 2 pages and has lots of space to write up what needs to be done.

On top of the dated planning calendar, it also contains undated weekly planning pages, also spread over two pages. These are my favorites. I can write the days of the week in them and plan my subjects. The spaces for these are also wide, making it easy to write in.



These two parts are the heart of the planner but there is much more add-ons to it. First, you have lovely inspirational notes in the front page of each month of the planning year. These directly speak to the heart of the homeschool mom - hint: they all start with "Hey Mama".  Second, on top of these inspirational notes, every four weeks into the weekly pages, you also have tidbit facts, about different tools, such as the spin wheel, the dibbler, the wash board, the dolly stick and some more.

And guess what? That's not all. There is even more. At the end of the planner, you have pages for:
  • Attendance (5 pages)
  • Monthly goals
  • Semester goals
  • Monthly goals
  • Yearly goals
  • Curriculum planning sheets (my favorites)
  • Homeschool contact list
  • Books read this year
  • General writing prompt list
  • Story starters
  • Fact sheets on the Thirteen Colonies
  • Timeline of Inventions
  • US Presidents and their wives, with dates
  • List of Branches of Federal, State and Local Government
  • A section on Academic Transcript



We will be doing some school in July and August, so I have started filling in the plans for these months.

What makes this planner unique is that it is simple, spacious, and full with practical, useful and encouraging pages.

Want to give it a try, we have a coupon code for you for $10 off. It is valid through July 15!

Reformation Day Giveaway

We are approaching October 31, which is an important date for all protestants. This date commemorates Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to a church door on October 31, 1517 in Wittenburg, Germany, which in turn provoked a debate that resulted in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. As the “Father of the Reformation”, Martin Luther is a vital figure in Church History. His sacrifice and willingness to wage battle against the spiritual, religious, and political powers of his medieval world allowed Christians throughout time to embrace the following truths: salvation by grace alone , through faith alone,  and in Christ alone, along with the supremacy of Scripture, referred to as  Scripture alone, and all of it for God's Glory Alone. These being commonly called the Five Solas of the Reformation.  Danika Cooley, author and creator of the Bible curriculum Bible Road Trip ,  has recently written a book for young people recounting Luther's story:   When

Visual Learning Systems - TOS Review

I have to admit I am in love with our first review product from the 2015 crew year. We received a full year subscription to Visual Learning Systems 's Digital Online Science Program Elementary edition and S econdary edition . Science has always been one those subjects I am having all sort of trouble deciding what to use and never being fully satisfied with what we are doing. Well my search is over. I am really hoping to stick with this one. What is Visual Learning Systems? Visual Learning Systems is an online science publisher that provides quality science educational material through videos. They offer Unit Studies for K-12 in DVD or digital format, as well as a Digital Online Subscription for both Primary/Elementary  (K-5) and Middle/High School  (6-12).
