qfbrenda Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I don't need to keep records for my state, but it helps keep me honest about what we are accomplishing. I used to keep good records, but now with 3 students, I've fallen off the record wagon. :tongue_smilie: I own Homeschool Tracker and used to use it, but I remember it being very tedious. I'm willing to try again though. Could you please tell me how to do it in your home school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 We use the binder method, and don't keep written records otherwise. Our binders are set up fairly similar to how it's described in TWTM. I've tried using Homeschool Tracker for lesson planning a few times. It only lasts a month or two before I drop it. It requires too much time spent fiddling with it for my tastes. Right now my kids keep an "agenda" on their clipboards, along with all pull out pages for the day. I use the horizontal agenda on this page. I toss them after everything gets checked off and I've sketched out the next week, but they could be saved for simple record keeping if that's your goal.

Quiver0f10 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I dont keep any grades until high school and then I keep track with a simple excel sheet and transfer the info to their transcript at the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qfbrenda Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'm not concerned with grades at this point. I'm interested in keeping track of what we've done... the basics, reading outloud, a reading lesson with the 7yr old.... those sorts of things. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaof2andtwins Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 We use Homeschool Tracker Plus. I don't know which version you have, but I have found the Plus version to meet our needs better than the Basic version. Jennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
