What to put in your portfolio
- Writing Samples-Creative writing, journal pages, essays, reports, book reviews, dictated pieces (for those not yet writing on their own). These need not be final drafts.
- Reading-This is not required but if your child enjoys reading out loud I would love to listen.
- Sample Math Accomplishments-Cooking, building, blue prints, word problem design.
- Theme Studies-Civil War, Insects, Sailing, Children through History, Bread around the World, Gardening, Growing and Using Herbs.
- Art Work-Photographs, drawings, sculptures, finished work or works in progress. (Projects too large for portfolios can be carried separately or photographed.)
- Mementos-Brochures, ticket stubs, playbills, certificates of participation.
