How should I record activities in which the student and parent-teacher engage?
Parents may tailor their record-keeping methods to suit their particular teaching styles. Some may want to write out daily lesson plans a week or two in advance, while others may want to log in activities after theyre finished. Activities may be logged in daily or weekly. Dont feel that you must cover every subject every day. If you and your children are thoroughly engrossed in a history lesson, for example, dont put it down just because its time for science. Enjoy the activity at hand! Thats the beauty of Homeschooling. Of course, some subjects, like math and reading, require daily building of skills. But science and history can be alternated in weekly, monthly, or semester blocks or integrated with other disciplines, as in unit studies. Some elementary schools cover science one semester and history the next. (Please note: If high school students are working towards Carnegie Units, each subject must be covered 50 minutes per day for 180 days for a total of 150 hours of study to match
