The Challenges of Homeschool Record-Keeping

  • Keeping accurate records for assessments and state requirements.
  • Managing lesson plans and progress across multiple subjects.
  • Maintaining motivation and clear visual progress for students.

How Think Board Writable Surfaces Can Help

1. Track Grades and Assignments

Think Board films provide a convenient way to create grade trackers directly on a wall or desk. Use color-coded systems to visually represent grades by subject or week. Erasable surfaces make updates and corrections simple!

Pro Tip: Pair the writable surface with magnetic boards (like our Magnetic Think Board) to attach printed assignments for quick reference.

2. Plan and Display Lesson Notes

Transform your workspace into an interactive classroom! Write daily lesson objectives, schedules, or reminders on a Think Board film placed on a table, door, or wall. This setup keeps both parents and students focused and informed.

3. Create Progress Charts and Visual Goals

Visual tools are a great motivator for children. Use Think Board to create progress charts, reward systems, or even milestone trackers. For example, draw a progress thermometer for a project or a weekly checklist of completed tasks.

4. Homeschool Portfolio Organization

Writable surfaces make it easy to stay on top of portfolio management. Create lists of required materials, assignments to include, or key assessments to save. Use Think Board as a brainstorming area for reflecting on your child’s learning journey.

Tips for Setting Up a Homeschool Portfolio Using Think Board

  • Designate a Portfolio Planning Zone: Install a Think Board writable film on a wall or desk near your homeschool workspace. Use it to brainstorm, organize, and prioritize documents.
  • Divide Sections by Subject: Create a labeled grid or categories (e.g., Math, Science, Language Arts) directly on the writable surface to track materials for each subject.
  • Incorporate Visual Planning Tools: Use Think Board for mind maps, outlines, or visual summaries of your portfolio’s structure.
  • Update Weekly: Dedicate time each week to update your notes, grades, and progress. A Think Board lets you adjust quickly without flipping through paper planners.
