Our state requires a daily log to show our number of days completed in our year of school. I need to report dd this year since she is 8, so I got a homeschool journal and for several weeks have been writing in boxes the individual subjects we are doing. Basically, I have been writing titles of books and page numbers from the HOD boxes. Recently I talked to another homeschool mom and she told me I didn't have to give all that information!
She says to just tell what subjects were done. Make a book list to add to the portfolio and that's good enough! I've been doing all this recording and didn't need to be. So, I got rid of my journal with all the boxes and printed out calendar pages with one box per day and just write HOD Unit 1, Day 1, etc. and add PE, Piano, etc. If they want to see detail, I can just show them my HOD guide. It's all there. Why make my own boxes?
I can't believe how it has helped me relax during my school days. Thanks HOD for helping to make this part easy as well.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. III John 4
