A portfolio that grows
Everything your child makes lands in one place, sorted by subject. Each week she writes a short report from it, you read and sign off, and you can print it for the teacher.
The portfolio
Work sample · Science
Bread starter diary
Day 3: bubbles! The starter doubled overnight.
Work sample · Arts
Sketch of the harbour
Drew the boats from the pier. Shadows were hard.
Journal entry · Science
Our creek walk
Counted five kinds of leaves and found a heron.
Work sample · Life skills
Bike repair
Fixed a flat with Dad. Learned about tyre pressure.
Photos and PDFs go in too, kept in private storage. You choose which items are shown to the teacher.
The weekly report
ilyKIN gathers what she did that week. She writes it up in her own words (or attaches a photo of a handwritten page), hands it in, and you read, comment and sign off.
Science
Bread starter diary
I kept a diary of my sourdough starter for a week. On day 3 it doubled overnight. I think the kitchen was warmer, so next I will move it somewhere cooler and compare.
Maths
Market maths
I worked out change for twelve pretend purchases and then did the same with real money at the farmers' market. I got better at doing it in my head.
English
Letter to Grandma
I wrote a letter about our camping trip and used the writing helper to fix a run-on sentence. I learned that a comma can't hold two sentences together.
Signed off by a grown-up. Print it, or save it as a PDF, for the teacher. A coverage map shows which subject areas are getting attention and which have been quiet.
