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 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?
