Portfolio Books

    An easy way I have found to keep track of work completed in homeschool is doing a portfolio book. At the beginning of the year, I let Abbie choose a wide three ring binder. I put a sticker on the spine with the grade number on it and I buy dividers for the inside. I divide it by subject and I put the pages that get completed into the book every day after I correct them. Then Abbie knows where to go to look at corrected papers and she also has a comprehensive view of what she has done every year in homeschool. I even try to include art projects or photos of projects whenever possible. In the front pocket, I keep the notebook pages that I tear out of my notebook (more on that here), which keeps track of what we've done and how many days we've attended school, just in case anyone comes asking.
