A Home for Our Portfolios

Help me give my students a place for their Leadership Notebooks to live. This corner bookshelf will help organize the binders and get the notebooks off the floor.

My Project

My 5 and 6 year old learners are excited to share what they know and learn. We keep track of their learning in binder portfolios that we call Leadership Notebooks. Inside each binder a child can see his/her progress in the areas of letters, sounds, sight words, reading levels, and understanding math concepts. We use these portfolios as a way to celebrate their progress as learners.

By supporting this project, you will give my students a proud way to display the work that they worked so hard to learn and create.

Right now their Leadership Notebooks are in a messy stack on the classroom cubbies and often fall onto the floor. Your generosity will give these little learners a shelf to proudly display their work.
