Printable Homeschool Portfolio / Notebooking Cover Pages

Use these printables as cover pages for subjects in your homeschool portfolios or notebooks. The Art page doesn't have a picture as I found it fitting to have my child draw his own art on it.

Keeping A Homeschool Portfolio

Below is a list of a few hand-selected blogs and websites which have excellent information or rescources on creating and maintaining a homeschool portfolio.

Heidi's Head: Homeschool Portfolio
Contains images and detailed information on they keep a very nice looking scrapbook type portfolio for each of their children. Worth checking out even if you don't plan on doing a scrapbook.

Donna Young Printables
Donna Young probably has more printables for use as logs than anyone could ever need. All for free. She also has many Portfolio Cover Pages for each subject that are worth looking at.

Pictures and information on how they've kept their portfolio. Includes information on how they organize all the child's work during the school year.

Homeschool Reporting Online has information about keeping records which are valuable for logs that are needed in most portfolios.

A note about portfolio evaluations (Florida).

Portfolio Checklist
A checklist for the parent to use of items to be included in their child's portfolio. Note that this is for Florida homeschoolers but can be used by any homeschooler, just be sure to check your state's homeschool laws to make sure you include any other documentation that may be required in your state.

The same site also has a very handy PDF file for you to view which I highly suggest taking a look at. It is short and to the point, easy to understand, and a wonderful reference. Here it is.

Examples of Summaries

Free Portfolio or Notebook Customizable Panda Cover Page

I made this cover page for my son's kindergarten portfolio cover. I wrote his name, grade and year on it but have left the sign blank so you can add your own text which is easily done in an image-editing software (you can download Gimp for free.) Or, you can just write your text directly onto the sign with a permanent marker and it will look just as nice. Made with Inkscape. You can also download the original .svg file from my Open Clipart gallery.
