Homeschool lesson plans!

Ugh! These have been hard to come up with and sometimes I feel like just having one or two under my belt makes the whole process easier. I don't know if these will actually make the cut and I'm sure over time that they will get a lot better I'm sure. Lately I've been using templates from a new site http://www.k12reader.com/resource/lesson-plan-templates/ but these are just from the note feature on my iPad which I am in love with.

When I first started this journey it felt impossible but with each item or task marked off my multi-page to do list it feels easier and more possible.
