A single-page monthly log. The Day column runs 1 through 31; you fill in the Date for the specific month, a Status code for the day, the Hours of instruction, and any Notes.
Status codes: P = Present, A = Absent, F = Field Trip, H = Holiday, S = Sick.
State requirements vary. Some states require nothing; others require an annual hour count or specific number of school days. Check your state's homeschool law before relying on this as your primary reporting document.
For families that don't need formal reporting, this still works as an internal record — it's a satisfying way to see the actual rhythm of your homeschool year, including the field trips and the days you took off because the weather was perfect.
Many homeschool parents underestimate how much instructional time field trips and "real life" activities provide. The dedicated field-trip code makes those visible in your records — an art museum visit, a farm tour, a grocery shopping math lesson — these are part of the day and they belong in the log.
The full kit is designed to work together. Most homeschool families pair 2-3 of these.
