Just realized that I have all our curriculum for Sisney H.O.U.S.E. to begin on Tuesday except my grade book. Don't know how I neglected to get that included in with one of my several orders! Especially since I had the one I wanted in my "Wish List" on amazon.com. Thankfully, there is a teacher supply store in the mall in a town about 40 minutes from me. Will be going to the mall this weekend!
I use a regular teacher's grade book, one for each child. I tear out the pages I don't need (seating assignment, etc.) and write all the subjects for the year on one page, skipping a space or two between my filled-in lines. Each year takes 4 of the "opened up" pages, one for each quarter. This way, I can use the same grade book for grade school, using another book for junior high and high school. Keeps grading records together and within reach.
We homeschool because we believe "There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings." (Hodding Carter, Jr.) In order to help our children establish roots and spread their wings, we believe in...strength in family relationships...an intimate relationship with God...being socially active...networking within the community to make our town a better place...excellence in academics and life skills...and that we are never too old to yearn for knowledge.
