Free homeschool curriculum: how to keep records of a free program

Free daily programs are a real way to homeschool. What most of them don't do is keep your records: which lesson was done on which day, and for how long.

Name the course and its number of lessons in Peabody's free lesson planner: it lays them on your teaching days, moves them when you miss a day, and a tick can mark the day in attendance and log the minutes. 3 of the curricula we have checked were free on the publisher's own pages; the curriculum finder lists them, each with the date we checked.

How do I make a Day 1 to 180 list?

  1. Open the lesson planner and add a course: its name, who it is for, the first day and the weekdays you teach.
  2. Type the number of lessons (180 makes Lesson 1 to 180), or paste the lesson titles one a line.
  3. Copy your breaks in from the Calendar Maker, and the last lesson's date appears.
  4. If your browser has a Record Book, set the minutes a lesson and tick "a ticked lesson marks the day in attendance". Each tick then writes the day and the minutes.
  5. On a sick day, press "We missed today": every later lesson moves one teaching day.

Can I get it on paper too?

Yes. The planner prints the next seven days as a tick list, and printable planner pages fill a month or a year from the plan. A calendar file of each child's lessons opens in your calendar app.
