The co-schooling record sheet.

We were having trouble keeping track of everything every kid was doing.  Finally, after consulting with Hannah, I made a form for us to fill out once each day:

 

This works a lot better.  There's one row in the grid for each subject.  Left to right, the cells read the name of each subject; the kids who usually take part; and then a wide blank for us to write down what the children did.  

Some things we do only once a week, and these share a row: for example, we teach art on Thursdays and music on Tuesdays, so one row reads "Music theory OR art study."  Saves space.

Sometimes we have to get a little creative.  For example, Tuesday's entry for "Pre-K activities" said:  "Free imaginative play with blankets, neighbor girl under the plum tree in the back yard."

At the end of the day, we photocopy the record sheet, and each family takes one copy home.

Last week, I added a line to record what we fed everyone for lunch.  This data may come in handy when we start running out of ideas (again).
