Fifth Grade Homeschool Record Keeping

Although some states are less strict than others, it is always important to keep track of your records. Start off by creating an attendance chart. Again, states vary on this but 180 days is pretty standard. Next, you'll need a list of all the curriculum you plan to use for the year. List the publisher next to the name. Add anything you use to supplement the materials learned in the curriculum to this page as well. For example, if you are learning about the Civil War in one of your history books, list the Civil War unit study you did in addition to the chapter. Finish off your record keeping with a notebook used to record what information you covered each day and how much time was spent on it.
