We live in a state where we do not have to do anything for the state, however for myself I did the following.
Kept a book list of all books read, movies watched, documentaries seen etc per subject, per child, per year. Kept samples of all work, choosing a best and a worst. Because I had planned subjects out by time, I was able to glean how many hours they had done and had that for credit purposes. I kept a running transcript going through the years, adjusting where necessary. For things with a curriculum, math and science for example, I just listed book and test scores – I listed extra curricular things like sport, equestrian, volunteering etc, also their crafts etc. That is about it…..I used a mix of CM and traditional – traditional for math and science, and then CM for history, art, music,Shakespeare etc, for English we used Epi Kardia to learn how to write essays and research paper and then did narrations and some literary analyis – terms etc so they would know those things should they decide on college. I basically have prepared them to do well in college, even though they are at the moment not planning on it. Don’t know if that helps at all? Linda
