MamaSprout Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Before I re-invent the wheel, is anyone aware of homeschool friendly quarterly or semester grade "report"? I'm keeping a portfolio of work for each subject each year, but since we work to mastery, I'd like to have something to stick in it that has a way to evaluate or simply document all the other stuff we do that doesn't fit into an A-F grade scale. I do keep separete book list, field trip list, etc, but don't have a good way to record bunny trails and project-y stuff that doesn't fit into a file folder.

regentrude Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I have a word document for each semester and each student where I list an overview of whatever we have done in each subject, plus extras. Quick and easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSprout Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 So really just an official looking list with some narrative? Kind of a reverse syllabus, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleowl Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 For DD's portfolio, I take pictures of the project-y things, and I type up a couple of sentences to document the bunny trails that we don't really have output for (if I feel they should be noted). Not sure if that's the sort of thing you mean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Is this for you or for official records? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSprout Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Is this for you or for official records? We don't report to any agency, but are keeping a portfolio (a two pocket folder, actually) for each subject with each school year going into a small expandable file folder. I figure it's a relatively compact way to back up mom grades if ever needed, and kind of fun for her to look through later (or shred).

Arcadia Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 When my kids were with a public charter, their teacher just keep per quarter two work samples each from English, math and science and a sample each from history, music and art. It came in useful for programs that ask for work samples as they take "photo evidence" of work. Since my kids started taking SAT and ACT in 6th grade, I haven't had a need to give mommy grades. For math circles and math camp applications, the information ask for was books used, classes if any, competitions scores if any. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I have a form for each kid that asks for: * classes and workshops * field trips * performances attended * books read (this is a selection, usually, not a comprehensive list) Then there's a tiny narrative section (1-3 sentences) about each subject. Once I start it for the year, it's really easy to update. So for example, something like... Math Mushroom continued to alternate between this textbook and this other textbook. He covered this topic, that topic, that topic, and this other topic. Social Studies Mushroom studied the history of this using this book and that book. He went on this field trip. He completed several assignments such as this one. Finally, there's a page that has a short paragraph about each kid for each of these questions: * Something to be proud of? * Something to work on? * Other important things to note? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
