Turning Unschool Learning into Homeschool Records Notes

Why would I want to turn something as unique and wonderful as unschooling into routine homeschool records notes?

I wish I could take delight in my daughters’ learning without ever thinking about homeschool records. Unfortunately, that’s not possible. I always have to keep one eye on the records book so that my unschoolers can fulfil the necessary homeschool registration requirements . While my girls are busy learning, I have to do a lot of behind-the-scenes work.  I have to translate all their unschooling learning experiences into the right educational language.

In this week’s podcast, episode 96, I share

  • how I turned some of my 13-year-old daughter’s recent learning experiences into notes for my Evernote homeschool records book

  • a lot of the resources that we have been using

So I’m wondering if you also have to keep homeschool records. Do you like Elvis? And what about board games? Do you have a favourite?
