Last year I used the "filing" system to file the year of work for my kids. It was our best year yet regarding how much we were able to finish of what I planned. We even had time to take some rabbit trails. Having everything organized ahead of time made my life so much easier! But I have a question regarding assigning work that isn't filed. Like all the reading we do. Last year, I wrote it on index cards - "Read the next chapter in (book title)". It worked fine, but it was tedious to write everything. I'm just wondering how other "filers" handle this sort of thing. (Just fyi: I filed by week last year and each Sunday evening I would put the next week's work in each child's binder. The binders had a pocket for each day of that week.)

I don't use this system but I would reduce the tediousness by typing and printing..

We used the file system last year. I wrote everything out on index cards as well. This year I am typing it all out but it still takes time. Actually, I think printing it out is the easiest way, at least for me.

I type and print out a lesson plan sheet that I can print weekly. It stays pretty much the same week-by-week. After printed it goes on an individual child's clipboard, and when the week is over, I collect the child's lesson plan records in a large 3 inch notebook/binder.
