What works for you.. Daily Reports?

[crafty]

I do handwritten journals. I buy them for $2 at dollorama for each child. I write down meals, naps and whatever happened that could be of interest (favorite activity, general mood, bumps and bruises, time outs or reminders). It goes home with the child everyday. The parents can write in some information we may not have time to chat about at pick up and drop off. I use it as a communication tool and references. I do not find it takes a lot of time to write. I do it while the children are eating or sleeping or during freeplay sometimes. It works well for me, it's quick and easy.
