Suggested Lesson Plan
Below is a suggested schedule for your classroom or homeschool. The page amounts listed under each title are the suggested number of pages to complete in a week. We know each day will vary and some days you might get through more and others less. It’s meant to give flexibility while still completing the journal in an entire semester or school year. This is based on a typical 180-day/ 36-week long school year. Adjust as needed if your school, or family, follows a different schedule. We’ve also included a few tips and notes when needed.
Core journals- Students can complete their core journals daily either in the morning to open the day or have a “core journal” time in the afternoon. These can be completed in small groups or alone.
