Question 94
Dear Preschool
Teacher,
I am
interested in compiling portfolios for my preschoolers. I have no idea
where to begin, or where to look for resources. Could you direct me to
a place for ideas, or do you have your own suggestions?
Portfolio Problem
Dear Portfolio Problem,
What I consider a portfolio for a
preschooler is a sampling of their work throughout the year. I
have them draw a picture of themselves (whole body) at the beginning,
middle and end of the year. I also save several crafts per
month, trying to show the growth in particular skills such as cutting,
coloring, following directions, creativity, etc. I usually compile
this to give to parents in the spring, so I also include photographs
that I have
taken. It ends up being a portfolio and memory book combined!
Hope this helps you.

Dear Portfolio Problem,
A journal is also a great for adding to a
child's portfolio. More information on journals can be found
here.
