A school day with Homeschool Days
-
After lunch
Log what happened, in under a minute
Tap Log today, pick the children and a subject, then say or type what you did. Add minutes or a book title only when you want to. Save, or Save & add another for the next subject.
- One entry can cover several children
- Nothing to set up first: no terms, classes or lesson plans
-
At the kitchen table
Keep the worksheet with the day
Take a photo of a worksheet, a page of writing or something they made, or choose one from your photos. It goes into the portfolio under its subject, in date order, so the start, middle and end of the year all show.
-
Saturday morning
Fill in any day, without the guilt
Missed a few days? Open Calendar, tap the day and add what you did, or count it as a school day with one tap. Nothing is ever shown as late, missed or overdue.

Days counted against 180
Each child’s school days this year against 180, with hours from the minutes you add. The portfolio lists every mandatory course for the child’s level, so a course with nothing logged yet stands out.
A log for the yearly evaluation
A dated log of educational activities that names reading materials by title, with samples of work by subject, ready to hand to your evaluator.
A dated record, wherever you are
A general list of subjects, a dated log, a reading list and a count of school days. Check what your own state asks you to keep.
Homeschool Days records and formats what you did. It does not give legal advice or decide whether a record meets the law where you live. Check the current rules with your school district or evaluator.
Small things that keep the log to a minute
Dictation
Tap the microphone and say what you did. Typing always works too.
The whole family at once
A read-aloud or a field trip is one entry for every child who was there, and counts for each of them.
Count a day in one tap
No time for detail? “Count today as a school day” and add the rest later, or never.
Nothing is ever late
No streaks and no overdue badges. Entries can be dated today or any day before it.

Your family’s records stay on your phone.

Spend the afternoon teaching, not keeping records.
