Primary School Planner D: Science and Life Skills
Planner D gives students a clear way to track their work, think about science through what they are learning, and take responsibility for their day.
Planner D was designed to work alongside Discoveries in Motion. It helps your child keep track of daily work, think through what they’re learning, reinforce key concepts, practice handwriting, and grow in independence without adding extra work for you.
What This Planner Covers
Planner D focuses on science concepts and life skills, including:
- Writing and tracking daily assignments in a simple, consistent format
- Building responsibility through habit tracking and task completion
- Handwriting practice built into each week (including Scripture and simple sentence copywork)
- Problem-solving and critical thinking
- Developing independence by helping students manage their own work and routines
Each week provides structured pages that help students engage with what they are learning while building consistent habits.
Scripture is integrated throughout, helping students see how what they are learning points back to God’s design.
Assessment and Skill Tracking
Planner D includes tools to help you clearly measure both academic and personal growth.
Inside you will find:
- Beginning, middle, and end-of-year math and literacy assessments
- Life skills evaluations (responsibility, independence, effort)
- Habit tracking connected to daily work
Life skills assessments are recorded as Not Yet, Practicing, or Mastered so you can track growth across the year.
