• Portfolio Time Again

  Well, it is getting to be that time of year when we have our evaluations happy.gif . How is everyone doing with their portfolios? I have most of my daughters' done, but I still need to write down what we did. For some reason, I just don't like to do this and I wait until the last minute to write it down . Since I wait until the last minute, I'll just to a monthly journal type thing. I also hope for better organization for next year.

• Portfolio Covers

  I am preparing my kids portfolios for this year. I like to use the Portfolio Covers at donnayoung.org. She has lots to choose from. Each of my kids are color coded. Example: boy is red, daughter#1 is green, daughter#2 is blue, and daughter#3 is purple. I just print out the portfolios on the color for each child, place them in the sleeve on the front of the binder. I also print up matching spinal covers. That way they can pick up their own books right away.

• Organizing Daily Work

  Even my kids agree that we were a little disorganized last year. My only excuse is that it was our first year and we tweaked the system quite a bit, which made organization difficult. This year, we've a much clearer plan of what we are trying to accomplish and better lesson plans. I would now like to tackle the output hurdle. I know we want to do some kind of portfolio for history/ literature, but for the book learning type classes that are more structured, I'm at a loss.

• Getting the Itch to Plan

  I'm really starting to get that "itch"! I don't know why exactly. I have about 90% of our texts already and I'm raring to get started. I'm one of these people who likes to have everything done WAY before I'm supposed too. LOL!
