More of our Homeschool Scrapbook

Scrapbooking is one of the things I enjoy doing and given all the time to do it, I would probably work non-stop. But having tons of tasks to finish in a day, and now a newborn preemie, I wish to really still have time to go back to scrapbooking. So it is such a delight to find these old file of scrapbooking our homeschool journey.



In these scrapbook pages, wherein my 8year old daughter then helped, we used literally scraps- cutouts from magazines and the little scrapbooking trinkets I had.


We used art/colored paper only and some images printed out from the computer. We like paper tearing, obviously.



A computer-made collage is the easiest layout, plus some stickers.








Homeschool Scrapbook

I originally published this in Multiply. But since no one is probably opening it anymore, I want to share my daughter's Homeschool Portfolio output submitted for the 1st quarter (SY2008-2009). Instead of the usual written stories and essays, we came up with a scrapbook to tell the story what we were up to for the 1st quarter.

I also gave a seminar-workshop to homeschool parents and their children on Scrapbooking and Lapbooking Techniques for Homeschool Portfolio. The portfolio is the school's way of assessing the students and the grades are based on the outputs. Tests and quizzes are merely 5% of the total grade.


The Cover Page and Self-Introduction


The self-introduction is written in a minibook acordion type which stays flat on the same page and tied with a ribbon. The next page introduces her sister, Abbie.
