How to Make School Portfolios
Hi Mama,
I finally finished my kid’s school portfolios. It doesn’t usually take that long, but with printers out, it took a little longer than usual.
Portfolios are a great way to collect your children’s work, whether you homeschool or don’t, and whether you live in a state that requires portfolios or doesn’t. Portfolios help you condense all the work your children did into a simple binder.
Since we cannot keep everything, my children keep their best work from each subject. They love looking back over the years and seeing how they have progressed.
Portfolio materials include:
- 3 in. Binder (will last 6-7 years)
- Dividers
- Sheet protectors
Student work and Parent Notes include:
- Student title page (made by student)
- Cover page (made by parent describing the school year and curriculum)
- Report card (optional)
- student picture (optional)
- attendance (optional)
- student favorite and dreams (optional)
- 2 - 3 examples of work for every subject (picked out by the student)
- Certifícate of completion (optional)
Creating portfolios is a great way to collect your students’ work concisely and in a way they can take with them as they grow up. Plus, the fact that they help put their portfolios together means they will appreciate them more.
How do you collect and organize your students’ work?
Warmly,
Mirley
