  1. I was a Missouri homeschooler before we moved overseas. I knew lots of homeschool families, and I have never heard of anyone asking for records or enforcement. Missouri is a no-notification, very low regulation state. It is incredibly homeschool friendly. I would not stress about getting your hours exact. I would set up a model week of 28 hours a week for 36 weeks or 25 hours a week for 40 weeks. (8 hours of reading/ELA, 5 hours of math, 5 hours of science/social studies, 5 hours of Bible, 5 hours of art/PE/music for example). Then daily or weekly, check off that you have covered those time blocks (approximately!!! it will even out in the end). And everything counts! Readalouds, board games, Sunday School, recess, nature walks, soccer practice, library trips, etc. Really, think about a typical day and most everything you do will be educational for a 6 year old. For evaluations, take some pictures/video early in the year of reading ability, math skills, public speaking, and memory work. Then take some pictures at the end of the year to compare. Along the way, video/take pictures of any science experiments, field trips, soccer games, pile of books you read. Seesaw is a great app to record all this. Don't go crazy with this!! A lot of people don't keep any records at all in Missouri.
