Large Family Homeschool Lesson Planning

Lesson planning for a larger than average size family can be a bit tricky.  I mean, I could make up a separate planning page for each child, but that is a bit much for me.  I like to be able to at one glance see what will need done for the week.  I have found a serious lacking of planners for 3+ students (free and fee).  So, today I learned how to insert a table on a word doc. and made my own.  We do some subjects together and some not.  I even have a place to jot down ideas to keep the little ones busy.  Hopefully come August this will do the trick for us.  I only plan out a week or 2 at a time because I have learned that is I plan more than that ahead, when life happens (and it will), the whole thing needs reworked.
