I have an editable homeschooled attendance record. Also look at my page Homeschool Planner and my 7 Step Curriculum Planner for more homeschool planning forms.

The newest form to add to the 7 Step DIY Homeschool Planner you build here each year is this colorful and editable homeschooled student attendance record.

However, I wanted to create one which gives you even more flexibility and that is what I have today.

Colorful and Editable Homeschool Student Attendance Record

Also, I keep ALL the attendance records on STEP 5a of the 7 Step DIY Homeschool Planner.

Editable Homeschooled Student Attendance Record

Look at the options on this editable homeschool student attendance record:

  • This is one page for one student, however, there are three different and beautiful color options in this one download.
  • There is a section where you add the beginning and ending month of your school year. Whether you begin using a physical year or academic year, you decide which months. Note: The month is vertical text on the form and has room for a three letter abbreviation. (See the picture below.)

In addition, other parts on the attendance form are editable. I want you to get the most use from this form and to understand what editable means. Editable does not mean taking my form apart. Editable  does mean you type in the editable text boxes created. Look below at the form to see which boxes are editable.

The blank lines under First Semester, Second Semester and if you use the third semester are for you to add the months for each semester. These are not editable and I left them blank intentionally in case you change the start of your year. This way your form is accurate regardless of when you start. Besides, you can fill in the bottom part anytime.

For example, you may plan to start your year in June, but end up starting in July. So on the lines for the first semester, write in the months July, August, September and October and fill out the rest of the months.

Again, if you homeschool year round, you’ll probably track all three semesters. If you school like public schools you’ll probably divide your year into two semesters

2021 New Year New Goals Setting Beautiful and Practical Form

I’ve never been more happier to say goodbye to a year. However, I always like to take time to reflect not just on the past, but to look forward to the 2021 new year new goals setting.

2021 New Year New Goals Setting Form

I love this form which I do each year because it reminds me to keep goal setting simple and not pen so that I can reach them; most important I remind myself to have Less of This.

It’s important to remind myself that some things I need to let go.

I don’t want to have pie in the sky goals, but to remember to homeschool and live simply.

Letting go of things that are not working at the end of the year is important to growing the next year.

I like something more generic that lets me decide what goals I want to make instead of focusing on only the 4 areas of education or homeschool, health, spiritual, and personal goals which I normally focus on,

I jot down 3 things that I want to improve or do more of and 3 things I need to do less of.

New Year New Goals

Don’t forget, I have 2 other printables too for goal setting.

2021 New Year New Goals Setting Beautiful and Practical Form

One is Goals for the Year and the other one is an End of the Year Flashback for the kids. It has several color choices.

The NOT To Do List: 32 Things New Homeschoolers Should Avoid

| Leave a Comment
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

Asking a group of seasoned homeschool moms is the best way to find out 32 things new homeschoolers should avoid.Also, look at more tips on my pages The Dynamics of How to Homeschool Easily and Smarter.

I’m reminded of what my homeschooling mother used to say. You learn new things one of two ways. One is by example and other is by experience.

The NOT To Do List: 32 Things New Homeschoolers Should Avoid

Instead of learning the homeschooling ropes the hard way by having to experiment on your kids, learn how to homeschool from those who’ve gone ahead of you or from their example.

Besides, nobody wants to experiment on their kids, but it happens.

Hoping to lessen your stress of beginning new to homeschool, look at these 32 things new homeschoolers should avoid.

Mistakes New Homeschoolers Should Avoid

  • 1. Remember your WHY or what brought you to homeschooling. Write it down somewhere so you don’t forget when times are tough.

  • 3. Do not recreate public school at home.

  • 5. Comparing your children, your home, and your spouse to other homeschooling families is a huge joy sucking trap. Your family is unique and homeschooling needs to fit your family’s needs.

Beginning to homeschool with unrealistic expectations is joy zapping and it’s huge among things new homeschoolers should avoid.

Homeschooling Mistakes

  • 6. You don’t have to run your homeschool day like other homeschool moms although they may tout only one way works.

  • 7. Keep pushing curriculum which isn’t working is another big do not do.

  • 8. Thinking your kids will all learn the same way is another hurdle. It’s okay to use various programs to meet each child’s needs.

  • 9. Curriculum is a tool, not the boss. You are the boss.

Mistakes to Avoid When Homeschooling for the First Time

  • 13. Don’t stress over the small stuff. Learning doesn’t just happen with a book in a kid’s face. Learning happens through everyday interaction and meaningful conversations. Take time to deschool and understand what it means for your family.

  • 14. Do not think you have to cram everything a child needs to learn in a day. Take it one day at a time.

  • 15. You’re not a one act entertaining committee. Sometimes learning is not always fun, it’s just learning. Constantly feeling like everyday has to be over the top fun is exhausting and can zap the joy out of the day.

  • 16. Don’t forget to ask your kids what they want to learn. It’s their education. When you have a willing participant in homeschooling, kids work harder and retain what they’re learning. That makes your job easier.

Homeschooling Potholes to Avoid

  • 17. Do not skip field trips. They are essential to bringing learning to life. Kids learn by being out in the world.

The NOT To Do List: 32 Things New Homeschoolers Should Avoid
  • 18. Don’t underestimate the value of play. Playing is the first introduction to self-education.

  • 19. Assuming homeschooling will be expensive is another mistake. You can spend as little or as much as you want depending on your needs.

  • 21. Using curriculum because somebody else uses it is a costly mistake.

What NOT to Do When You Begin Homeschooling

Also, why do we focus only our kids’ needs when beginning to homeschool? When you focus on your education which doesn’t have to take long you truly can help each child meet his potential.

  • 23. Don’t be a perfectionist. You’ll mess up, your kids will mess up. Tomorrow starts a new and fresh day.

  • 24. Homeschooled kids don’t need to be in class the same amount of time as public schooled kids. We simply do not have the same distractions.

  • 25. You don’t have to follow state educational standards. Knowing your state homeschool laws is the first place to start.

New to Homeschooling

  • 28. Don’t rush. Get outdoors and go to the library. Nothing has to be timed.

  • 29 Don’t be put off when it takes you longer than a year for you or your child to adjust to homeschooling.

Mistakes New Homeschoolers Should Avoid

  • 31. Do not think it’s not okay to step away and take a break.
  • 32. Don’t write your lesson plans in pen. The first sick day and you’re feeling behind. Plan just a few weeks out.

And finally, do NOT think you can’t do this. You absolutely one hundred percent can.

You’ll love my book, Homeschooling 31 Day Boot Camp for New Homeschoolers: When You Don’t Know Where to Begin.

You’ll experience one or two mistakes, but they can be minimized.

There seems to only be two mindsets when new homeschoolers start.

There seems to only be two mindsets when new homeschoolers start.
There are over achievers who are looking to right all the wrongs in a few months or under achievers who feel a rich learning environment just happens with no intentional effort of the parent. Avoid these two mindsets!

Neither mindset works, but it can set you for failure. Achieving balance is absolutely key in your first year of homeschooling.

Do you find you’re making some of these mistakes already?
