I homeschooled my twin boys from
birth through 12th grade and they weren't the only ones learning! On
this page I plan to share some of what I learned, discovered, developed, and used
along the way on our homeschooling journey. Forms were developed to fit
our specific needs. Lists were created, lessons planned, materials
organized, websites visited, books read, projects assembled, methods
developed, and requirements met. Time-saving ways to organize, document,
and accomplish homeschooling activities, as well as a variety of
practical tips, is what you'll find here. |

Daily Grades |
Assign daily grades for one student for four quarters. Ample space for several subjects each quarter. Numbered days correspond to day numbers on Attendance form. (Note: Do not "fix margins" when printing Word document.) Tips - Print on cardstock for durability. Using fine point pens, write daily assignment grades in blue or black ink, and write test scores in red. Transfer quarterly grades to report card.
