For arts and crafts I took pictures(made a shutterfly book) or saved the best projects and placed in a big brown envelope. :) <br />You can see our portfolio on my blog and read about how I am planning for next year on my blog. I like the color code idea. It's always nice to see new ideas!<br />Thanks for sharing!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919750188666956140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830748451146807697.post-55995009676047113062010-04-23T00:23:30.249-04:002010-04-23T00:23:30.249-04:00Wow!

I need to take that a step further and break things down by week. Our daughter is in first grade and so far it hasn't been too hard to keep things on track, but I know I need to be a bit more organized for next year. I will start schooling our son more formally at the start of our next school year and I know I will need to have things a little more laid out for myself when doing 2.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10126081135579364716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830748451146807697.post-77794490094193960242010-04-22T15:30:14.175-04:002010-04-22T15:30:14.175-04:00OK, you need to come over two weeks before the sta...OK, you need to come over two weeks before the start of school bring your family - and help me figure this out for 8 children!

Several of the workbooks that I use {Complete Writer} are actually able to be photocopied too, so that's what I do in that case. If it's a worksheet that we slip into a page protector {Critical Thinking}, I just record the page number they completed in my planning book.<br /><br />Does that help?Jolanthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00887081852111099540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830748451146807697.post-1737436567395114292010-04-22T14:59:21.175-04:002010-04-22T14:59:21.175-04:00Wow, this is the exact same system I started using...Wow, this is the exact same system I started using with my son last summer, I use those same exact folders too.

Do you reuse any of your workbooks or do you purchase new ones even if you have a child that will use it the very next year?Tim, Allyson, and kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783456001791140306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830748451146807697.post-26125936755192322382010-04-22T14:22:57.357-04:002010-04-22T14:22:57.357-04:00Simply genius!
