Simple Homeschool Record Keeping {When Organization isn’t Your Thing}

Jennifer · October 12, 2022 · Leave a Comment

Binders for simple homeschool record keeping

Every year I wasted hours searching for papers in desks, folders, and our storage ottoman. There were tests my kids never got credit for because I couldn’t find them when it was time to average grades!
