My Project

I would like to implement keepsake portfolios at school for my first grade students. Each student will have a durable plastic mesh with zipper that they can keep all their projects in throughout the year. During open house, students can take their portfolios and show their family members what they've been learning and working on in class. Not only will this will create excitement and keep students engaged in building their portfolio, but also teach them to be organized.

These student portfolios will help hold each student accountable and as a result motivate them to be successful.

All other resources will allow our classroom to have an organized system and keep the portfolios easily accessible for students to access at anytime. Thank you for your support.
