You may also choose to keep a folder of your field trips including leaflets, photos of your child on the field trip, or written work of your child about the field trip even if it is about what they learned or what they enjoyed the most about it.
You may keep a page with a list of websites, books, workbooks, games, magazine subscriptions, and other materials you will or have been utilizing for homeschooling.
You can print out the curriculum for the website or books index or contents page to add to your portfolio as well.
Written work from the student from at least of few pages each month of each subject should be included in the Portfolio.
I hope that this helps someone out there.
