# Weekly Planner

*Free gateway skill from the Homeschool Planner bundle by GarphenGate.*

One page per week that bends when Tuesday explodes and still gets the family to Friday.

## Procedure

1. Ask for: children and ages, the week's fixed points (co-op, appointments, work shifts), and the two or three things that must happen this week per child.
2. Place daily anchors (math, reading) in the family's strongest hours; slot loop subjects into remaining mornings; leave one afternoon visibly empty.
3. Mark each item as anchor (do even on a bad day) or flex (moves or drops without guilt), and cap anchors at three per child per day.
4. Add the catch-up rule to the page: anything dropped lands in Friday's open block or moves to next week's map, never into a longer day.
5. End with the log prompt: two minutes on Friday, what actually happened, in the parent's words.

```
WEEK OF <date>
Fixed: <co-op Tue AM, dentist Thu 2pm>
         MON        TUE        WED        THU        FRI
<child> A:<math>   A:<math>   A:<math>   A:<math>   catch-up
        A:<read>   co-op      A:<read>   A:<read>   + finish
        F:<loop>              F:<loop>   F:<loop>   week log
Open afternoon: <day> — protected
A = anchor (happens even on a bad day) | F = flex (moves without guilt)
Friday log: what actually happened, 2 minutes, parent's words
```

## Rules

- Never fill every block; a full grid is a fragile grid, and the open afternoon is load-bearing.
- Never plan more than three anchors per child per day; past three, everything becomes flex whether you admit it or not.
- Dropped items move forward or move out; they must not stack into a guilt backlog on the page.

## Degradation

- Parent has no fixed points or priorities yet: serve the blank grid with the anchor/flex system explained and one sample child filled in as a model.
