fly on the wall
[email protected]
I would really like to be a fly on the wall in many of these seasoned
unschoolers homes. I think seeing it in action would help a lot of people.
No editing just the real stuff..... hey a new reality tv show, were bringing
in the film crews guys.

Have a Nice Day!
Attatched is a "summary transcript" I've been working on this evening. It covers the past 3 weeks or so (some of it goes back to August, especially the field trips).
This is how I've been keeping track without daily journaling. I call it a summary transcript because the word "transcript" is educationaleze and I may have to turn it in at the end of the year since I no longer turn in any proof of 180 days here in good ole Pa. Its divided into subjects for the same reason.
Hope it helps some.
I'm not sure if this list accepts attatchements. If it doesn't I can copy/paste it.

that we don't have to turn in information like this to the school
district anymore? ;)
Dd wrote letters to legislators telling him why she thinks the
homeschool law should be changed, but she wrote it on bright pink
postcards and it didn't photocopy well. I didn't have the heart to
ask her to re-write just for the portfolio, but wouldn't that have
been a cool thing to include? lol
