Writing Yearly Progress Report

I am currently gathering together all my notes
and schoolwork of my oldest
so I can write a yearly progress/summary of his year.
This is my first time.
I did not write one for his kindergarten year.
Why? I thought it was silly so I did not.
I did keep samples of his work and my notes though.
But, for his first grade year,
I know I need too.

So, here I am gathering and looking through.
I had told myself at the beginning of the school year
that I would write a summary at the
completion of each semester.
That way, all I would have to do at the end
of year is summarize those 3 summaries.
I did not, so here I am gathering and looking through.
Not happy.
I hate doing something because I am told too.
I am stubborn that way.
I do not have to turn the yearly progress report in,
just keep it for my records, just in case.
Just in case what?
I get that knock at the door from Social Services?
Yes, that is exactly why I am writing it
because the powers to be might
knock on my door and question my home school.
Does that scare me?
Yes.
But, why?
I know I am giving my child a well
rounded education.
He would not get that one on one that he thrives on
at any public institution.
So, why worry?
Just do.
So, here I am gathering and looking through.

I hope I remember this when next year comes around.
Remember to write those semester summaries.
Then, I won't vent in such a way.
I am enjoying looking through,
looking at all the growth that my son
has done.
Just want to do it because I want to
and not because I have to.
Hope everyone yearly progress reports
are going or will go easily.
Maybe you are more prepared.
Many blessings.
