THE YEAR

The whole year on one grid

Every subject and every week on a single screen — color-coded by readiness, draggable when life happens, and honest about what's thin.

ready draft thin — needs attention week off

SNOW-DAY ARITHMETIC

One move fixes a broken week

Real homeschool years bend: co-op cancels, kids get sick, a unit runs long. Cotable's schedule shifts are one primitive that covers all of it — a single session, a whole week, or everything after a date, forward or backward.

You can also just grab a subject's week and drag it to where it belongs. The grid is the schedule; moving things is moving things.

"We missed Friday's Art"

Push just that session to the next meeting day. Everything after stays put.

"The whole week was a washout"

Push the week — every subject shifts together, and the term extends if it must.

"Grandma visits in November"

Insert a week off. Lessons don't re-date themselves; stranded ones ask you what to do.

"We're actually ahead"

Pull the schedule forward. The grid closes the gap without you re-dragging forty lessons.

UNIT STUDIES

Draw "Ancient Egypt" across six weeks. Watch subjects line up.

Drag across the THREADS lane to declare a unit study — or let Cotie propose one from the term you already planned. Each subject decides how it serves the theme: history anchors it, art paints it, science digs in the sand. Skill subjects like math and phonics are deliberately left out — content combines, skills keep their own sequence. That rule is built in.

THREADSAncient Egypt · weeks 5–10

History — the Nile and the first cities

Science — silt, floods, and soil

Art — papyrus and pigment

Math — excluded — skills keep their sequence

A YEAR FROM A WEEK GRID

Start from the schedule you already have

Most co-ops already have the year decided — it lives in a spreadsheet of weeks and topics. Hand it over during setup and Cotable drafts the skeleton: a lesson angle for every week, calibrated to your class.

Drafts are labeled drafts. The grid shows exactly which weeks are ready, which are thin, and which are still ideas.

→ a drafted term: one topic-aligned lesson angle per week, written to your grade band, session length, and class size — ready to shape, not ready to ship.

THE DETAILS

Built for the year you'll actually have

COLLISIONS

Occupied weeks push back

Drop a week onto a full one and Cotable asks what you meant — swap, merge, or shift — instead of silently stacking work.

OVERFLOW

The term stretches, work doesn't vanish

Push the schedule past the last week and the term extends to fit. Nothing falls off the end of the year unnoticed.

STRANDED LESSONS

Breaks don't eat lessons

Declare a week off and any lessons caught inside get their own notice with an explicit choice — move them, or keep them anyway.

WORKING HOLIDAYS

Your calendar, your rules

Teaching on a federal holiday because it suits your family? Mark it a working day. Skipping it? That's the default. Both are one click.

NEEDS ATTENTION

Honest diagnostics

Gaps, repeats, overloaded weeks, thin weeks, missing prerequisites — flagged plainly on the rail, dismissable when you disagree.

SMALL SCREENS

Readable on a phone

Below laptop width the matrix becomes a per-subject sparkline read-out instead of an unreadable grid. Same truth, right shape.
