Portfolios and Student Work
In our class students do a variety of types of work. Some traditional paper and pencil, some group work and some discussion work. My goal this year is to collect a quality sample of the work that each student completes and have them reflect on their work.
Since we are collecting our work to put in our portfolios there won't be a lot of work coming home on a daily/weekly basis. What you will see is a bunch of work coming home at the beginning of the new month.
We just completed our first month and work selection. Students selected a math and a literacy sample that they liked and really wanted to keep. They did a short reflection and then the rest of the work was sent home (I hope you saw this).
If you are curious what your child has been doing let me know.
