I'm in Ohio and I do the Portfolio method. Throughout the year I save handwriting samples, math worksheets, photo's of activities and field trips, craft projects, etc. (My kids are too young for reports of any kind but we do take quizzes)
At the end of the year I assemble samples of work from each quarter and put them into a binder to show progress and improvement throughout the course of the year for the Portfolio review. My assessor said that she looks at the Portfolio to see that the child is performing to the best of his ability and that the child has made progress throughout the year.

Him being five was little concern to us and we did know that we could wait until he was six. Our superintendent was confused because he would have been placed in first a year before he was. His work from the beginning of the year looks exactly the same as the end. Do they do it based on ability or grade level? Miguel has chosen all curriculum that is at least a 1st grade level but very easy for him. Yes I let HIM pick his curriculum.
Most of his learning is done through discussion because he lacks "motivation".
So how do I do the portfolio that's based on conversation? He does have tons of work sheets but not "to his ability".
Should I just try getting him to do some work at his level to put in the back? I really don't want to push him.

Thank you so much for the certificate idea. I will use that myself. DD loves certificates and stars!
