My Project

Students use a 3-ring binder and page protectors to create a portfolio of their best work and special memories from their 3rd grade year.

Students put together a portfolio of the work they completed this year and photos of themselves in an end-of-the-year Memory Book they can keep forever!

They do Photo Writing to describe pictures from the year. They also include work they completed throughout the year to remind them of hard work they did and show their progress.

Students put the portfolio together themselves and choose how to organize the pages. It is also nice for parents to have all their 3rd grade memories in one place.
