School Calendar tutorial

Create a Visual Homeschool Weekly Schedule

Make learning activities easy to see across the week. Build a small homeschool plan with clear subject names and icons, save activities you will use again, and keep different learners’ schedules in separate calendars when that helps.

The week you’ll build

This example is a starting point. Use dates and activities that fit your own week.

Day	Time	Activity	Duration
Monday	9:00 am	Reading	30 min
Tuesday	9:30 am	Maths	30 min
Wednesday	10:00 am	Science exploration	45 min
Thursday	9:00 am	Writing	30 min
Friday	11:00 am	Art	45 min

A prompt to try

Replace the bracketed date with the Monday of your chosen week, then paste this into Magic Generate.

For the week starting Monday [YYYY-MM-DD], create these homeschool events:
Monday 9am Reading for 30 minutes
Tuesday 9:30am Maths for 30 minutes
Wednesday 10am Science exploration for 45 minutes
Thursday 9am Writing for 30 minutes
Friday 11am Art for 45 minutes

1. Choose what belongs on the calendar

Start with the activities you want to make visible, such as reading, maths, a science project, and art. Add fixed commitments first and leave space between activities for breaks and changes of pace.

The example is a small planning exercise, not a complete curriculum. Replace it with the learning activities and durations you already intend to use.

2. Create and name your homeschool calendar

Choose New blank calendar, then open Calendar Settings to enter a title such as “Homeschool — Weekly Plan”. Navigate to your chosen week.

For different learners or groups, create separate calendars with recognisable names. Use the calendar switcher to choose the one you want to edit; check its title before adding events.

3. Draft the week with Magic Generate

Replace the bracketed Monday date in the example prompt and send it in Magic Generate. Check each suggested day, time, title, and duration. Select Add to calendar once the result matches your plan.

You can also build the week manually by selecting an activity and clicking a time slot. Use one approach for each event so you do not add the same lesson twice.

4. Make subjects easy to recognise

Open an event and choose an icon that fits the activity: a book for reading, a calculator for maths, or an art icon for creative work. Keep the written title specific enough to understand without relying on the icon.

Review the week as a whole. Adjust times and durations in the event details wherever the plan needs more breathing room.

5. Keep useful activities ready to reuse

In the Activities panel, choose Add activity to save a lesson type you want to use again. Give it a clear title and a suitable icon.

Select the saved activity and click a calendar time slot to place it. Review the resulting event’s time and duration. Reusable activities make future entries easier; they do not automatically create a repeating series.

6. Share the plan when someone else needs it

If another caregiver or tutor needs to see the schedule, use Publish calendar to create a read-only link. Review the content and choose an optional password before publishing.

After editing the plan, select Republish to update the same link. Ask viewers to reopen or refresh it to see the latest published version.

Make the next week easier to see

Start with a few activities, check the details, and build from there.
