I am using a school checklist for each child, but I also wanted a way to account for the unplanned schooling we do each day. Thanks to a Montessori teacher and blogger, I found an easy way to do that: our weekly Homeschool Journal.
Each week, I print a journal page out so that I can record our extracurricular activities: museum visits, documentaries, etc. I gave each child a section on the top half of the page and left room for our group activities on the bottom half of the page. I only have two children, but larger families can check out the Montessori teacher's record keeping to see how she does this for several children.
I have also found it easier to print the journal pages all out at one time; it saves time and trouble because I am so forgetful.
