I have been planning and gearing up to begin Prairie Primer with my 11 year old daughter.
Since we are officially beginning the Tuesday after Labor Day, I will share with you some things I have done to help me in planning it. I joined two Yahoo groups for Prairie Primer. They are full of resources in the files section.
Prairie Primer Pluses Yahoo Group
Prairie Primer Today Yahoo Group
I went through the Prairie Primer book and made a weekly schedule of what she is to do each day as well as at the bottom of the schedule it shows me what supplies and library books I will need to have ready for her. My goal is to work 1 week ahead of her in gathering the things. The page I use to plan is from the Schoolhouse Planner, which is available from Schoolhouse Teachers.
Another thing I have done is preprinted a bunch of notebooking pages from Notebooking Pages. I have also preprinted the lap book pieces from Homeschool Share. I get my meat from a local butcher, so I put in a request for him to get me a hogs bladder. I am hoping it gets here soon. I have also ordered owl pellets for dissection. Emily and I are both very excited for her to begin. Here are the resources that she will be using for her first week.

It looks great! Thanks for linking up - I always love to see how people are planning things out. Please come back and link up again another time.
We're just heading into Week 2 of Plum Creek and loving it!
I had a hard time reading your post because the font was really small. I've been winging it every day with the Prairie Primer, but I know I need to get some real planning done. Maybe this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration!
