Organize a three-ring binder to be used as a portfolio. Fill the binder with clear page protectors. Label dividers for each subject the child will learn that year and insert them into the binder. On each subject divider, list the curriculum and grade level you will be using. Clearly mark the outside of the binder with the child's name and the school year.
Keep all of the child's completed schoolwork in a plastic storage container. At the end of each month, sort through the completed work and choose one or two pages from each subject to put into the portfolio. Slide the chosen pages into the clear page protectors in the binder. Repeat this step each month. This will show your child's progress and improvements throughout the year.
Take photographs of art projects and place them in the portfolio. Art projects are often bulky and awkward, but the state of Florida wants to see that they are doing creative projects throughout the year. Photographs are a good way to show examples of their art without having to drag a piece of clay pottery or a papier-mâché dinosaur into the superintendent's office.
Add details to the portfolio to give a more complete picture of what your homeschool experience is like. For example, you could include a schedule of all of the activities and programs your family participates in on a weekly or monthly basis. You also may want to include a reading list of all the books your child has read each month. If you give your child a quarterly report card like a traditional school would, keep a copy in the portfolio as well.
