Apples of Gold Home School News

     You might be more-than-anxious to put the school year behind you. But now is the best time to reflect on it’s highlights and capture the memories that you’re likely to forget down the road.

     Try to begin a homeschool journal of some sort, or to create a yearbook. This doesn’t have to be extravagant or time consuming; just a few pages that highlight special moments or capture themes you studied, places you went, or friendships created and nurtured.

Add photos or brochures. Write up a sentence or two regarding different visits or subjects you focused upon.

     Allow a page for your student to add the signatures or comments of friends and family regarding this year in their lives.

     An hour or two putting together this simple piece of memorabilia can be used to glean important portfolio information later, or it can simply serve as a great way to look back on the exciting and ambitious things you did as homeschoolers once your family is all grown up!
