A Look Back at Preschool

Help me give my students and their families a special portfolio full of memories!

My Project

Children come in ready to learn and explore! It's amazing to see the creativity they create and their progress from beginning to end. I keep 75% of their work and put it all in a binder/portfolio. The portfolios will include numerous items such as their art work, table work, and printed pictures in color. Everything will be laminated and organized with lots of creativeness added to it.

I would love for each child to be able to share their work and the special memories they created in our classroom.

I want them to be able to keep it safe and in one place so they can always look back at it. I know this is a special gift that students and their families will be appreciative to receive.

Every student is special because they are the future! They enter not knowing their purpose to be in school. Their purpose is to learn, explore, and grow! And every child gets to do that starting in preschool!
