Homeschool Planning: Schedule and Pacing Templates

     In a recent YouTube video, I shared my planning and scheduling process for our upcoming 2025/2026 homeschool year.

I find it really helpful to create a pacing guide for all of our curriculum to aid in scheduling out our year and making sure everything is going to fit in the allotted time.  It also helps me see how many times a week I need to schedule a particular subject, as well as schedule in enough cushion to allow for review or remediation and scaffolding. You can watch the full video here to see the details of how I did this.  So many people requested the templates that I used to organize our year, but because I do all of it in PowerPoint, not Excel, I have been having trouble finding a way to share the templates in a useful way. In the meantime, I have created templates in Canva that replicate what I make in PowerPoint.  If you have a Canva account (a free account is fine), and you are comfortable creating and editing in Canva, these templates might be useful to you.  Please keep in mind that if you input more text into any of the boxes than space allows, the box size will increase, which will push some of the bottom rows off the page. You can change the font size to a smaller font, or just delete the rows that go off the page. 

I have three templates available right now. Use coupon code MOMMAFREE to get them at no cost for a limited time. Click on the image(s) below to take you to the purchase page.
