You have finished your lesson plans for the month, and know exactly what you are going to be covering in each subject, each week, each day.

They can be used in a variety of ways including in Google Classroom.

What are assignment pages?

These are editable slides, used in Google Slides, a free platform for anyone to use, and children can access them on their own devices. You fill in the date, what you want to your child to do that day.

For Example:

  • under Agenda, math lesson, read from XYZ book
  • I add the posted notes are there for any notes you want to leave them

Be creative and use this tool to help your child with their independence. Austin is taking her first online course where she has a due date for assignments. A note for her might be “did you work on your creative writing assignment?”

Assignment Pages for Google Classroom For Homeschoolers too!

Homeschoolers! This is for you too! Life gets busy, and we aren’t all homeschoolers that are strictly homeschoolers, a lot of us have a lot going on and as our kids get older it is nice to give them a little bit of freedom so you can do other things through the day.

These assignment pages or slides can be uploaded to your Google Classroom. Your child will go to the class you have assigned to them, and see what you what them to do.

You can set these up to be used in individual classes so you child knows exactly what they are doing.

The image above if just an example of one way we are using these daily assignment slides in our homeschool. I’m using them in Google Classroom, especially for my sixth grader. It gives her a sense of independence and is a way to help her learn how to manage her time and assignments.

I have created these to be flexible, use your own fonts them. Have fun keeping everyone, including yourself up to date with your homeschool plans. It on;y takes a few minutes to do included moving to Google Classroom.

With these you don’t have to worry about losing your planner when everything is already online.

Introducing Google Slides in Your Homeschool

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

I am attempting to move some more of our homeschool lessons online in addition to math. The homeschool minimalist lifestyle is calling me. Or maybe it’s the lack of storage for all our things that is getting to me. Using Google Slides seems like the perfect tool for doing this, and it’s free.

Homeschooling can take up a lot of storage space. The workbooks, the books, the papers, the everything builds up, it all takes space in your home/homeschool.

But we’re also moving into a very digital life, and I want my kids there too. Homeschooling and not using the technology we have would be a disservice to my kids, and that is the opposite of what we plan to do for them. We have limited screen time – TV and video games, as well as tablets outside of school. Limited screen time shouldn’t mean they aren’t learning to use all the tools available to us.

Introducing how to use Google Slides

Instead of “throwing them to the wolves” in terms of teaching your children to use technology and Google Slides, why not teach them how to use it. Teaching them to use Google Slides can open up all the learning tool doors that are out there for them and you to use for free.

We are going to be doing our spelling work on Google Slides, and I’ll be adding more as the year goes on, like digital interactive notebooks, and getting them to create slide shows to show what they have been learning/studying.

Teach them how to:
-add text
-add images
-add tables
-add comments
-and more!

You can teach your preschool, or your kindergartner to use Slides. They don’t have to be that young though to cover, or to re-cover these instructions. There are adults, who haven’t used Google Slides, or Documents because it didn’t exist for (us) them when we were in school, and this is a great way to teach them or a refresher for them as well.

How are you using Google in your homeschool?

Google Slides Lesson Planner

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

Hi, paper planner girl here! I am all about using a paper planner but I know that a lot of people, homeschoolers, prefer to use an online planner. I do sometimes get the want to go digital, something that I can look at from anywhere. I created a simple lesson planner on Google Slides to show you how you can go digital too.

This lesson planner is simple, a basic one week lay out that you can edit to use for your homeschool lessons this year. I am more of a paper planner as I said above, but there are great benefits to going digital instead, or using it along with your paper planner.

Ways to Use this Lesson Planner

This planner could be something that you fill in and then share with your kids so they know what they need to do each day. You can easily edit it, and then when sharing it, make it so that your kids can’t edit it.

Also share it with your partner or someone who may be with your kids during “school” time.

Editing This Lesson Planner

Because this planner is in Google Slides, you don’t have to download it. You don’t have to worry about forgetting to save it after making changes – we’ve all been there, done that. Google Slides save periodically for you.

Click this link to make a copy!

When you click the link, it will automatically ask you to make a copy. This is the only way to use it, because otherwise you could be editing the main form accidentally. It will make a copy in your own Google Drive. You can share your copy with your family once you have filled it in.

To edit it, simply click on the add text, delete that text and add your own. To create more pages, highlight (click on one slide, hold the shift button and click on the other), right click, then Duplicate slides. Do this as many times as you like, for your homeschooling weeks.

Google Slides Lesson Planner

Using editable planners such as this one is easy, and allows you to take your planner every where you go as long as you have your Google Drive account.

Google Slides for Homeschool Lessons & Projects

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

I want my kids to love learning, and when there is a topic that they are interested in, they will read everything they can on it. Such as dogs, my oldest can tell you the breed of a dog instantly, almost annoyingly so, like while watching a movie. Why not let them create something that they can use to showcase their knowledge? Google Slides lets us this easily.

Google Slides Over PowerPoint

Did you grow up on PowerPoint like I did? I remember using it in school for creating class projects. We are using Google Slides because you don’t have to do one of the following:

  • work online – using PowerPoint online
  • download it onto you laptop or desktop and save all work to your device, and only have access to it there

With Google Slides you can access your work anywhere, at anytime, and offline. With your work saving as you go long, which happens to be one of my favorite features.

How Students can use Slides

I think letting them have the chance to “teach” the rest of us through a slide show is the best way for them to do it right now. No papers to be discarded later or in the process, no project that to try and work on without anyone seeing it, they like to surprise us. They can be as creative as they like.

Best part: You don’t have to store it for on your device, nor do you have to store a poster board project for forever, or until it “accidentally” disappears.

How Homeschool Parents can use Google Slides

I have have three kids, so if I create something for my oldest, some for social studies or science to aid in her learning, I can reuse it for the other two. Which makes me happy, to cut down on what I, as a homeschool parent, need to do when lesson planning. It’s a great way to create interactive learning, and a lot more fun than textbooks.

Use it to your advantage, just like the other Google tools. Why shouldn’t we use great, free tools that can make life easier in the long run and help our kids with their tech skill.
