And I know—talking to the kids ALWAYS helps. <br /><br />Today, after reading your comment, I wrote a quick list of The Required Boxes and put it on the fridge. As the kids lived their day, I noted when something Fit into a box. It felt so simple. My homeschool diary either gets too detailed or neglected for days, so I end up not seeing how easily we're actually covering what the State says we need to learn.. A little chart-thingy, to fill in as I go, now and then, sounds just lovely. Simple. Thank you SO much for the suggestion! <br /><br />And Hi Kooky, thanks for the comment! I'm so glad my words and ideas help a bit! :)Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560926974431305982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760384943386215722.post-85974373732904684312011-03-08T02:23:32.158+11:002011-03-08T02:23:32.158+11:00Thanks so much for sharing this.

I get that way too even though we don't have to report in the state I live in. I wonder when you are doing your blog posts and you are sharing what is taking place in your home (your learning environment) if you had a chart of each "box" to put things in, and simply listed the events into the box they most closely fit. It would not be time consuming because you always have the posts to refer back to but you would watch the lists start to grow and grow under each "box" that you have to fit their learning into..... just a thought.LJS https://www.blogger.com/profile/00557549680551581746noreply@blogger.com
