I’m just wondering how you go about keeping records of your kids work. My state requires that I keep records of their work and grade their work. I’m not sure how to do this if we’re doing Charlotte Mason.
CorieParticipantI could use help with this, as well. We seem to bounce between Oklahoma, Texas and Alaska, where it doesn’t really matter, but because we move so much, I would like to get into the habit of having grades and records on hand in case they are ever needed.
crazy4boysParticipantI’m in a non-record keeping state, but I use the SCM Organizer for my record keeping (just in case and so I can see what we’re doing). I can print reports of what each child did, as well as what we did as a family. It tracks actual books as well as things like Artist Study or Handicrafts….whatever I want to add. I enter a “note” for graded subjects like what they got on math worksheets and tests – “89% on 9-week test”, for example. For final exams (oral narrations at this age) I can enter a “grade” in the Daily Notes or for the specific resource. There are all sorts of cool reports you can run from the Organizer.
I also keep a list of books they’ve read on their own. I don’t keep the actual workbooks they finish – I just mark on the Organizer that the resource was ‘worked on’ then ‘completed’. I will save samples of art work and a few writing/narration samples, take pictures of larger projects, etc.
Tecrz1ParticipantI do not have to keep records but I do anyway just for safety. I keep a file for each year for each child. In that I have my notification of permission to homeschool I receive each year, samples of the children’s work like selected math sheets, dictated/written narrations, booklist, copywork samples, maps they’ve drawn, etc. I then put a copy of the signed assessment form I have to obtain at the end of the year stating my child was examined by a certified teacher and their education deemed suffifcient for their age. I file this away each year. If you must do grades use a simple transcript form. You can mark grades in terms or semesters or whatever you use all on one page. I used one from Abeka before switching to CM.
I only keep a sampling of these things such as a copywork page from the beginning, middle, and end of the year. I don’t know how much you may be required to keep.
