Portfolios/Memory Books for Kindergarten, Pre-K and First Grade!

 It’s official!!! I have successfully finished updating all of my portfolios!!!! I updated Kindergarten and Pre-K last Summer and just finished updating my first grade one!
All of the portfolios include monthly poem divider pages with a place to put pictures from that month, number writing pages for each month, self portrait pages with a place to write their height, writing prompts. Each portfolio also contains a Memory book/All about me section with pages for favorite school lunch, where I live, my birthday, what I learned this year, where I go to school and so, so much more!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are some example pages from the Kindergarten Portfolio….

Here are some examples from the Pre-K portfolio….
(It also includes TK options now!)
And…here are some examples from the First Grade portfolio.

So….how do I use it?? I make each child’s portfolio at the beginning of the year. I copy them, Laminate the cover for durability and bind them together. Then, I keep them in special mailboxes for each child so that they are easily accessible….I need to be able to find them quick when the kiddos lose a tooth:)
Here are some examples from some Kindergarten Portfolios from this year! It’s soooooo fun to see their progress!!!!

I LOVE this August self portrait!!!! Can you see him?! Ha!

These are all self portrait pictures from the same little girl…Just look at her progress! <3

These 3 pictures are all by another little girl! Look at the progress in her pictures and her name!!! AND I LOVE how she labeled her May self portrait!!!

 Here are some examples of the numbers and letter pages….

Here are some examples of the monthly poem pages with spots to put pictures from each month. I just added the August page for your first day of school picture…so, if you already own this packet-please download again to get it:)

Here are a couple of writing prompt examples….

And…here are a few examples of what you will find in the All About Me/Memory Book section:

 Thanks for reading my entire post!!! Want a portfolio of your very own?? Just PIN your favorite portfolio from my TPT store and leave me a comment with your email address that you did!! I will randomly pick a winner tomorrow night!!! Good luck!

    How do you keep track of these pages, do you bind them or have student complete and put into a file?

    I love it. I create portfolios for my kinders and firsties but do it rather randomly. I like the idea of having it organized in advance and using it as an assessment tool. I would love to win the Kindergarten one 🙂 danella@cox.net (I did pin it http://pinterest.com/charlie85748/assessments/)

    I love the way you’ve organized your portfolios! They are definitely one of the more creative that I have seen. Recently, I’ve been researching the pros and cons of creating physical copies of portfolios, such as this one, and using an app to store and share portfolio information, such as the one shown here . I believe there are definitely merits to both, such as the physical copy providing the parents with a keepsake, and the app providing a convenient way to see all of the portfolio information. However, I would love to hear your opinion on the subject, from an instructor’s perspective. Could you ever see yourself using the app method in the future, or do you prefer making portfolios this way?

We are who we are due to our lives and our experie We are who we are due to our lives and our experiences. You have not experienced what I have, and I have not experienced what you have. Sometimes it’s not fair. I understand that. I PROMISE you...you will be a BETTER person by talking to people who are NOT like you!!! And they will be better to know and learn from you. You’re not going to change someone’s mind with one comment, or one conversation. But, I promise that the conversation WILL make a difference. Different perspectives help us grow and learn. We are educators, y’all!!!! The name-calling and tit for tat comments have to stop. Judging someone and treating someone horribly without talking to them about their perspective says A LOT about who YOU are. (I’m sure I’ll be called plenty of names over this post. And I’m sure people will twist my words into whatever they want them to be. I’m ok with that. Im FAR from perfect and all-knowing. I’m tired of worrying and I’m tired of people being MEAN.) If you truly want to make a difference, BE THE EDUCATOR YOU CLAIM TO BE.) That is all.
Before I even knew what happened I was saying “H Before I even knew what happened I was saying “How?” How does this happen with no shots fired?! Our president tweets “Remember this day forever.” Yes. Let’s!!! Will this make it into our History books?? Disgusting. I’m in tears seeing where our Nation is at right now.
