I have to admit, I haven’t really known what to write for this final day of the blog hop. What does a non-planner person do for a planning/record keeping day? Then I got to thinking about how my son’s in high school now, and I’m now required to keep track of grades. This reminds me of the stack of papers I have sitting under my laptop for me to file in the appropriate spot. (but we’ll just let that be my little secret eh?)
AND it’s five minute Friday today so I”m hopeful to combine two challenges at once… Think I can do it?

Keep Track of Grades
Highschool has crept upon us
The grades we need to keep
Looking back I do remember
something rather sweet.
Transcripts be made easy
I do remember well.
Keeping grades and scoring
My son thinks that is swell.
Do it right or not at all
My momma used to say
And highschool is done easiest
When approaching it this way.
Mistakes they sometimes happen
Deliberate or not.
And when they do, we’ll see it through.
In time it be forgot.
Be careful on those transcripts
Mark those tests fairly
For colleges and higher
Want the truth you see.

Figuring out the codes to use
It makes my old heart race
What happens if I do it wrong?
Will it slow my dear son’s pace?
I have to always remember
To use the brain I got
God gave it to me years ago
Let not it go fraught.
Take your time
and think it through
Each code needed
Will come to you.
Ah searching hard
The right words find
Course codes for Ontario High School
Takes a load off my mind.
Easy does it one by one
History, science, music too.
Keep track of grades
Four years to do.
