My best portfolio work. Portfolio for school

Nowadays, children sometimes become familiar with the Italian word “portfolio” in kindergarten. Well, at school, almost every child is faced with the need to create a kind of diary of achievements.

It should be noted that the proposal to introduce mandatory portfolio production for schoolchildren is not without foundation. First, such work brings together the child and parents, who together create something designed to represent the student's personality. Secondly, you need to come up with a design, wording, and create a beautiful composition of text and images. Thirdly, a positive perception of oneself is formed, because various diplomas, certificates and other evidence of children's achievements are added to the album.

How to make a portfolio for a schoolchild in 1 hour

The easiest and fastest option is to use templates to create a student’s portfolio. These are ready-made pages into which you can paste or embed the necessary photos and text fragments. You can choose from a huge variety of themes and designs that will be close to your child - your favorite cartoon character, for example. Older students will appreciate the design in a club theme. To work, you will need about an hour of time, a color printer and photographs in electronic or printed form.

How to make a portfolio for a schoolchild from scratch

Before the student, it is necessary to discuss with him the type of future album, its general theme and specific details. It is also important to sketch out a rough plan. Below is a convenient algorithm that you can use when creating a portfolio for a primary school student. It will be displayed as a list of sheets that should be contained in the folder, and how exactly to organize them is a matter of your preferences and capabilities. Given that new pages will need to be added to the portfolio, it is best to choose a ring file folder with a thick cardboard cover.

  1. Its central part will be occupied by a photo of the student, and along the perimeter you can place images of his favorite cartoon characters, toys or other objects of interest cut out from magazines or postcards. The details of the child (full name, date of birth) and the educational institution in which he is receiving education are also indicated here.
  2. Pocket with postcards and congratulations received for Knowledge Day.
  3. My name. A section may include more than one sheet. The student deciphers the meaning and talks about the history of his name. It tells the story of who made the decision to name it that way, and what this person was guided by.
  4. Family. You can abundantly illustrate the section with photographs. A story about each of the relatives and about the family in general, some family traditions and other interesting things. An excellent option is a family tree, which allows the child to learn more about his ancestors.
  5. "It's me". Self-portrait.
  6. My hand is in 1st (2,3,4...) grade. It is suggested to trace the contour of your palm or smear it with paint and leave an imprint on the sheet (which is much more fun).
  7. My daily routine. Description with illustrations.
  8. Hobbies.
  9. Friends.
  10. My city. A local history excursion into the history of his hometown, photographs of sights and views, everything that a child wants to tell about his small homeland.
  11. How I go to school. A route map from home to school with mandatory markers in the most dangerous parts of the path, and also your student’s home address.
  12. My school.
  13. Favorite teachers. Photos, names and patronymics, as well as characteristics of teachers with whom the student regularly interacts.
  14. My class. A general picture of the class with a list of children. Friends can be given special mention.
  15. Schedule of lessons. The sheet is replaced every year or a new one is attached.
  16. Who will I be when I grow up? Description of the future profession and justification for its choice.

This is followed by the subsections “My Achievements” (certificates and diplomas for participation and victories in various competitions and competitions, letters of gratitude) and “Creativity Box” (a collection of creative works during training: drawings, poems, essays, photographs of crafts).

Knowing how to make a portfolio for a schoolchild, you will feel confident in completing this task, you will be able to show more imagination, and your work will become something that the child will now proudly display at school and flip through at home with pleasure.

From work experience "Preschooler's Portfolio"

Compiling a children's portfolio is a very interesting and exciting job. I have been working in this direction for several years. Unfortunately, I do not have photographs of my graduates’ portfolios. But I suggest you look at what we have already done with my current children. Parents play an important role in the process of compiling a portfolio. The parents of my children turned out to be creative people, so our portfolios turn out interesting and different from each other.

"Preschooler's Portfolio"

First you need to purchase colorful folders.

For girls.

For boys.

Folders need to be signed and arranged so that parents have constant access to them

(we placed the folders in the reception group).


Let's start creating a portfolio.

Parents and their children choose style and colorfulness, because a portfolio is not only a “treasury of achievements,” but also a “colorful book.”

These and many other samples of children's portfolios can be downloaded from the Internet.

On the title page you must indicate the child's last name, first name, and date of birth. The start and end date of portfolio collection is also indicated.



Section 1: “What does my name mean?”

Here it is appropriate to place a photo of the child and the meaning of his name.


Section 2: “My friends.”

It is not at all necessary that there be photos of children from kindergarten. After all, every child has communication and friends outside of kindergarten.




Section 3: “My hobbies.”

Photos or verbal descriptions of what children like to do at home.


Section 4: “My favorite books.”

Children love to be read to. And they, of course, have their favorite books and favorite cartoons.



Section 5: “My family.”

Photos of family members (family tree, or general family photo.



Section 6: “Portrait of my child.”

Verbal description of your child's character. It is best, in my opinion, to do this section when entering kindergarten and before leaving school. This way you can see changes in the child’s character.



Section 7: “My achievements.”

This section is intended for various certificates and diplomas of the child.

Section 8: “My creativity.”

This section is the most important for the child. Here you can see his skills and abilities, his successes expressed in productive activities.



In chapter

"My art"

we collect children's works.



All material in the portfolio must be arranged in chronological order, into groups. We only have two so far: nursery and junior.


If parents wish, other sections can be inserted. For example:




Children like to look at their photographs and drawings from time to time. And parents can do this at any time.


We will be adding to our portfolios until the end of kindergarten. And at the graduation party, the children will receive these colorful books of their successes and achievements as a gift.

Thank you for your attention!

The folder is bought to last for many years, it must be durable. You will need markers, pencils, glue, a ruler and several sheets of various stickers (stars, flowers, cars, etc.).

  1. Portfolio of a primary school student, samples and templates for downloading, portfolio structure, recommendations for compilation

Portfolios are examples of work done that reveal the student’s abilities and skills. The portfolio also shows the child’s activity in various activities at school and beyond. At the end of the article there are portfolio samples that you can download and use as an example to design your child’s portfolio.

  1. Introduction of Portfolio for Primary School

Several years ago, this innovation was added to the educational process, which is now widespread. Many parents of elementary school students, receiving an assignment from teachers that is related to the preparation of a portfolio, feel bewildered and confused about how and what to do. And teachers themselves sometimes spend a lot of effort and time trying to figure out the structure and design of portfolios for students. Today there are no strict requirements for it, which is very good; students themselves can be involved in its creation.

  1. The purpose of creating a portfolio for students

For self-realization, a child already in primary school needs to have the right motivation, the ability to set goals and achieve them. The educational process requires self-discipline from the student, the ability to conduct introspection in order to overcome failures and be able to rejoice in their victories. Therefore, parents and teachers should help him discover his inner potential. A student’s portfolio for primary school is created to structure his work, academic performance and achievements. All collected material will subsequently become the basis for choosing specialized classes or maybe even a school and profession for the student. The main goal of a school portfolio is to identify all the student’s strengths and give him the right vector for the further development of his abilities.

  1. Portfolio structure

A primary school student's portfolio includes the following sections:

1) Personal data:

  1. a) title page;
  2. b) autobiography;
  3. c) a story about yourself;
  4. d) a list of long-term and short-term study and career plans.

For the title page you will need to paste a photo of the child. It will be better if he chooses his own photo. In this way, his initiative can be developed. The child could describe his hobbies, talk about his city, family, friends, his first or last name, write about his school. The main thing is that he describes what interests him and what he considers important.

2) Achievements:

  1. a) a completed form entitled “List of my achievements”;
  2. b) creative works, articles, research projects, works that are recognized as the best in the process of discussion between the student and the teacher;
  3. c) certificates and diplomas received by the child for achieving success in various fields of activity; d) characteristics;
  4. e) information that confirms educational initiative and independence in performing work;
  5. e) set goals.

In this section, it is better to write down all existing certificates and diplomas in chronological order. In the primary grades, all of a child’s successes are important, so it is better not to divide them into major achievements (for example, in school) and secondary ones (for example, in sports).

3) Demonstration of the process and development of a student in a certain area:

  1. a) photographs;
  2. b) video recordings;
  3. c) results of tests, tests, exams, drawings;
  4. d) information that reflects all socially useful activities of the child;
  5. e) completed forms:
  1. “Research, creative work”;
  2. “Attending additional education”;
  3. "Individual (elective) courses."
  1. f) list of literature read;
  2. g) curriculum;
  3. h) information about awards.

The forms may require photographs of voluminous works or fakes that the child has made. You can also place drawings, poems, fairy tales or any other student’s creativity in this section. To design this section, the child must have complete freedom so that he can clearly see what success he has achieved.

4) Feedback and suggestions:

  1. a) feedback for the work done;
  2. b) recommendations in writing;
  3. c) letters of encouragement;
  4. d) goals for the beginning of the school year;
  5. e) results of the academic year.

This section is one of the most important for increasing a student’s self-esteem. Teachers who pay enough attention to the child’s efforts will be able to positively evaluate them. If you use not just the word “well done”, but praise your child for something specific, then his motivation in learning will only grow. Children who are praised for specific achievements learn much better. This section can also help the teacher express his recommendations and wishes to the student’s parents.

The portfolio may contain additional sections that the teacher can add.

  1. Distribution of responsibilities in portfolio management

One of the main goalscompiling a portfolio for a primary school studentis to establish close cooperation between parents, teacher and child. Primary school students who are preparing a portfolio for the first time will not be able to do without the help of their parents. But help should consist of constantly encouraging the child to show initiative and independence in filling out the data. Thus, he will be able to evaluate his achievements and capabilities, as well as form a personal attitude towards the results obtained.

The child, feeling the burden of responsibility, will independently work with the portfolio and evaluate the results. He will be able to develop communication skills, because the portfolio requires communication and consultation with parents and teachers. A portfolio helps a child develop a balanced view of himself, his strengths and his goals.

The role of the teacher in working with the school portfolio also cannot be underestimated. This is serious work. The teacher is obliged to explain the rules for maintaining and filling out the portfolio, and to timely evaluate the completion of all sections. Class teachers are responsible for such responsibilities as preparing exhibitions and competitions that will allow students to express themselves. They help students take part in different activities. All this helps to shape the child’s personality.

The main efforts in the educational process are aimed at developing in students abilities that will help him to fully realize himself and become a successful person. The main thing is that the portfolio does not convey the idea of ​​competition between children, but helps each individual develop their talents.

As an example, we present to your attention the contents of the Portfolio for assessing the development of universal learning activities, developed for 1st grade. Please note that the tasks offered in the Portfolio are found in workbooks and textbooks of the educational complex. You can use this option and implement it into the practice of the school, but it is also possible to propose your own option.

Elementary school student portfolio.


1. Why does a student need a portfolio?

“Each student will have a “portfolio,” that is, an individual “portfolio” of educational achievements - the results of district and regional Olympiads, interesting independent projects and creative works. This is very important in determining the student’s readiness for in-depth study of a number of subjects.”(Minister of Education V.M. Filippov “Komsomolskaya Pravda” 01/14/2003)

Main functionThis innovation is to help high school students choose a specialized class, as well as the opportunity to present their achievements when entering universities.

Portfolio goal- act as an individual cumulative assessment and, along with exam results, determine the rating of secondary school graduates.

We will all have to get used to the formula:


The procedure for calculating the specific “weight” of a portfolio in a student’s overall educational rating suggests two options:
1. The weight of the portfolio can correspond to the weight of one exam - max 5 points.
2. The weight of the portfolio can correspond to the weight of two exams - max 10 points.

In other words, additional certification for admission to specialized classes is really necessary. After all, the existing system of examinations in the 9th grade does not give an idea of ​​​​the student’s abilities or interests!

2. Portfolio philosophy.

A portfolio is a way of recording, accumulating and assessing a student’s individual achievements during a certain period of his education. A portfolio allows you to take into account the results achieved by a student in various types of activities (educational, creative, social communicative, etc.) and is an important element of a practice-oriented approach to education.

In the pedagogical literature, a portfolio is characterized as:

 A collection of a student's work that comprehensively demonstrates not only his academic results, but also the efforts made to achieve them;

 Exhibition of a student’s educational achievements in a given subject (or several subjects) for a given period of study (quarter, half-year, year).

The philosophy of the educational portfolio assumes:
- shifting the emphasis from what the student does not know and cannot do, to what he knows and can do on a given topic and subject;
- integration of quantitative and qualitative assessments;
- transfer of pedagogical emphasis from assessment to self-assessment;
- the main meaning of a portfolio is: “Show everything you are capable of.”

Portfolio concept:
A portfolio is a promising form of presenting the individual orientation of a particular student’s educational achievements. A graduate’s portfolio can serve as a supplement to the results of the Unified State Exam or any other form of examination for admission to a university, since it most fully covers the lack of information about the applicant, which is inevitable in any examination procedure. Portfolio as a cumulative assessment reflects sustainable and long-term educational results,
compensating for the effect of random success or failure in an exam or testing situation.

3. What is all this for?

The portfolio material is collected not just for one year, but throughout the entire period of study. A portfolio is a form of authentic assessment of educational results based on a product created by a student in the course of educational, creative, social and other types of activities. Thus, the portfolio corresponds to the goals, objectives and ideology of practice-oriented learning.

A portfolio helps solve the following important pedagogical tasks:

  1. support and stimulate educational motivation of schoolchildren;
  2. develop the skills of reflective and evaluative activities of students;
  3. develop the ability to learn- set goals, plan and organize your own educational activities;
  4. lay additional prerequisites and opportunities for successful specialization.


4. What does the portfolio look like?

Typically, creating a portfolio requires a ring binder (regular or archival) that is filled with hole-punched files. It is advisable to purchase multi-format files for storing documents or works in A4, A5 and A3 formats. Additionally, you can insert separators that will help structure the folder into sections.


5. Where to start?
Compiling a portfolio is, indeed, most relevant in secondary and primary schools. And here’s the question: does a portfolio have the right to exist in elementary school and, if so, in what form can it be presented? Of course, many sections from
Portfolio-9unsuitable. What to replace them with? Should I make my portfolio comprehensive or limit myself to one part of it? All these questions can be answered by thinking about what the main goals and objectives of portfolio management in primary school are.

6. Goals and objectives.

One of the main tasks of teaching and education in primary school (I hope!) is to identify and develop the child’s individual creative abilities. And here’s how Olga Ukhanova, a teacher from St. Petersburg, defines the main goals and objectives of maintaining a portfolio in primary school:

— creating a situation of success for each student, increasing self-esteem and confidence in their own capabilities;
— maximum disclosure of the individual abilities of each child;
— development of students’ cognitive interests and formation of readiness for independent learning;
— formation of an attitude towards creative activity and creative activity skills, development of motivation for further creative growth;
— formation of positive moral and moral qualities of the individual;
— acquisition of reflection skills, developing the ability to analyze one’s own interests, inclinations, needs and correlate them with available opportunities (“I’m real”, “I’m ideal”);
— formation of life ideals, stimulation of the desire for self-improvement.

To solve these problems (according to many experts), it is necessary to shift the emphasis, placing the main emphasis not on a portfolio of documents, but on a portfolio of creative works. In other words, the “CREATIVE WORKS” section should become the main and main thing, the “Official Documents” section should fade into the background and be used only as an appendix!

The motto for working with an elementary school student’s portfolio should be the following phrase:"The student's daily creative process must be recorded".

2 Reflection is a tendency to analyze one’s experiences and think about one’s internal state. Reflection on oneself, knowledge and analysis of one’s own mental processes and states. It disrupts a person’s life and reduces his adaptation with both excess and lack of self-knowledge.

7. The main thing is not victory, the main thing is participation!

The undoubted value of a portfolio is that it helps to increase the student’s self-esteem, maximize the individual capabilities of each child, and develop motivation for further creative growth. Therefore, it is extremely important to learn for yourself and explain to your child that compiling a portfolio is not a race for diplomas and all kinds of certificates! Important the process itselfparticipation in educational activities or creative work, and not its result.

Long-term research by psychologists has led many educational experts to accept the view that The leading characteristic of a creative person should be considered not “outstanding abilities” (high intelligence, creativity, etc.), but her motivation(life goals). It is this that is considered by many as the decisive factor in realizing the creative potential of an individual.

8. What does an elementary school student’s portfolio look like?

There are no strict requirements (state standard) at the moment. And it pleases! After all, working on a portfolio is a good opportunity to express yourself, approach this task creatively, and come up with something of your own, original. As a rule, the school administration gives advice and recommendations on design. The only thing to be wary of is that the primary school student’s portfolio is not called “Portfolio of my achievements” (“My achievements”, etc.) and that the section documenting these achievements (all kinds of certificates and certificates). Let's talk about the dangers of this approach a little further. In the meantime, let me remind you that to “fight” this kind of obligation and other “administrative distortions” there is such a body as the school’s board of trustees. Advocate for your children's interests. Take action!

My public
Job

My art

My impressions

My achievements

The word “portfolio,” which is still unclear to many, is firmly entrenched in our lives. Now it accompanies a person from early childhood. We will try to tell you what it is and why a student needs it. The term “portfolio” itself comes to us from the Italian language: portfolio in translation means “folder with documents”, “specialist’s folder”.

When to start creating a portfolio?

In recent years, the practice of creating a student’s portfolio has become widespread. Today it is compulsory in many educational institutions. Even preschool institutions include in their work activities to collect the child’s successes. The first grader now needs to start organizing his achievements folder. Of course, it is very difficult for a child who is in elementary school to do this on his own, so parents often prepare this folder. Parents' questions and surprises are quite natural, because at one time they did not encounter such a requirement. In our article we will try to answer the question of how to make a portfolio for a schoolchild.

Why does a schoolchild need a “folder with documents”, and what should be in it?

Tracking all the successes and results of any child’s activity is a good practice, because it helps adults reveal the versatility of the child’s personality. And it is important for a little person to be aware of his first achievements in order to develop further. Information about the child, his family, environment, academic success at school, certificates and diplomas received for participation in various school and extracurricular activities, photographs, creative works showing the child’s knowledge, abilities, skills - all this is a kind of presentation of skills, interests, the child's hobbies and abilities. The collected information will be useful when moving to another school or when further choosing specialized classes and when entering a higher education institution. The main goal of a primary school student’s portfolio is to identify all the child’s strengths and reveal his inner potential through a structural collection of his work, grades and achievements. This helps to form a child’s motivation for activity, teach him to set goals and achieve success.

Portfolio is a creative product

Having decided to start creating a portfolio for a 1st grade student, you must first think through its components, decide which sections or chapters will be included in it, and what they will be called. Very often, primary school teachers prefer a uniform structure for all students, and therefore, when informing you that you need to prepare a portfolio, they will also offer a rough plan for it. In this case, parents will not have to rack their brains over the components themselves. By and large, a student’s portfolio is a creative document, and not a single regulatory act contains clear requirements for it prescribed by the state.

Every parent understands that first grade is an important period in a child’s life: getting to know teachers and classmates, gradually growing up and increasing independence. When moving from the conditions of kindergarten to school, where everything is new and unusual, the child experiences a little stress; the student’s portfolio helps him get used to the new place faster. The sample for compiling it may vary depending on the class and school, but it must contain information about the child and his parents (legal representatives), about his interests and hobbies. All this data will help children quickly find new friends and common interests with classmates, and it will be easier for the teacher to organize the learning process and conversations with children.

General form - individual filling

Each school or even each class can develop its own student portfolio, a sample of which will be offered by the teacher to children and parents, but still this folder is something like a “business card” of the child, and therefore it should reflect his individuality.

Select a template

Children will not be interested in simple sheets, notes, photographs; they will be much more attracted to a cheerful colorful design. Therefore, first, select templates for your student’s portfolio that can be easily found today. And then, together with your child, choose the appropriate one. If you couldn’t find anything you needed, then you can create a template yourself that will best suit what you had in mind. Not every parent can create a template on their own, and even if they cope with this task, they will have to spend a lot of time. This is why ready-made templates for student portfolios, which can be edited quickly and easily, are so popular.

Characters adored by children can be used in the design. Boys, for example, love cars. Portfolios with racing cars are perfect for those who love racing and speed. Girls prefer princesses or fairies as a design element. You need to remember that pictures with your favorite characters should not distract from the content; their role is to set you in a positive mood when opening a folder.

What to tell about yourself

The first section of a primary school student’s portfolio, as a rule, includes personal data. This is the title page, where the first and last name are indicated, and also a photograph of the child is placed, which he must choose himself. This section may also include an autobiography, a story about yourself, a list of long-term and short-term study plans. The child must be involved in filling it out, encouraging his initiative. Let him write about the character qualities that he has, about his favorite activities and hobbies, talk about the city in which he lives, about his family and friends, about those with whom he is friends, about his first or last name, about school and class . You can also write a dream about what the student wants to become when he grows up. The student can even post the daily routine he follows. He must describe everything that interests him and what he considers important.

A child, while filling out a folder, can make small discoveries - for example, read for the first time about the origin of the first and last name.

It's not easy to describe your world

The first part may have its own subsections. Perhaps they will be included in the student’s finished portfolio, which you will create yourself, taking into account the child’s individuality. If your child is passionate about reading, create a “My Favorite Books” section. A passion for nature can be reflected in the “My Pets” section.

The portfolio is not filled forever; it will be replenished and changed over time. If a child writes answers to the question “What can I do and love to do,” then by the fourth grade the information entered by the first-grader will definitely lose its relevance. Therefore, regular filling work at least several times a year will bring more benefit.

Success and achievements section

If a child has already accumulated certificates and diplomas received for participating in various school competitions, then parents have no choice but to make a portfolio for the student. You can place them in chronological order or divide them into sections, for example, “Achievements in studies” and “Merits in sports,” although for a primary school student all his achievements are important. This part will contain information related mainly to studies and creative activities. This data will be gradually updated over the years of study at school.

You can add your first copybook, successful drawing or applique to your first-grader's achievements.

If the event in which the child took part was covered in the media, you can make newspaper clippings or print online pages with the message for the student’s portfolio.

Children choose their own activities and attend classes in clubs, sections and clubs. Information about them can also be included in a special section. There may be information about the institution the student attends.

How do I study?

Educational activities, as the main activity in the life of a child of primary school age, should be given a separate section. There can be not only a table like a school report card, but also successfully completed tests, first notebooks, a sheet with the first five. You can also include indicators of reading technique here.

Primary school student’s portfolio as a method for assessing personal growth

as part of the implementation of the Federal State Educational Standard of the NOO

Teacher: Today we will create a special folder - a portfolio. It is not intended for school assignments. It is necessary to record your progress and achievements. By filling out a portfolio, each of you will be able to tell about yourself, and the folder will save your stories for yourself and other people who want to get to know you better.

One of the main tasks of teaching and upbringing in primary school as part of the implementation of the new educational standard is to identify and develop the child’s individual creative abilities:

Creating a situation of success for each student, increasing self-esteem and confidence in their own abilities;

Maximum disclosure of the individual abilities of each child;

Development of students’ cognitive interests and formation of readiness for independent learning;

Formation of an attitude towards creative activity and creative activity skills, development of motivation for further creative growth;

Formation of positive moral and moral qualities of the individual;

Acquiring reflection skills, developing the ability to analyze one’s own interests, inclinations, needs and correlate them with available opportunities (“I am real”, “I am ideal”);

Formation of life ideals, stimulation of the desire for self-improvement.

To solve these problems (according to many experts), it is necessary to shift the emphasis, placing the main emphasis not on a portfolio of documents, but on a portfolio of creative works. In other words, the “CREATIVE WORKS” section should become the main and main thing, the “Official Documents” section should fade into the background and be used only as an appendix!

The undoubted value of a portfolio is that it helps to increase the student’s self-esteem, maximize the individual capabilities of each child, and develop motivation for further creative growth. Therefore, it is extremely important to learn for yourself and explain to your child that compiling a portfolio is not a race for diplomas and all kinds of certificates! What is important is the process of participation in educational activities or creative work, and not its result.

Goals of portfolio formation:

The portfolio is introduced with the aim of objectively recording the individual achievements of schoolchildren. A portfolio is a collection of a student's work and results that demonstrates his or her efforts, progress, and achievements in various areas.

Individual cumulative assessment (portfolio) - a set of documents, assessment of subject, meta-subject and personal results, individual achievements, which is the basis for determining the educational rating of a primary school graduate.

Portfolio structure:

There are no strict requirements (state standard) at the moment. After all, working on a portfolio is a good opportunity to express yourself, approach this task creatively, and come up with something of your own, original. The only thing to be wary of is that the primary school student’s portfolio is not called “Portfolio of my achievements” (“My achievements”, etc.) and that the section documenting these achievements (all kinds of certificates and certificates).

The portfolio may include results achieved by the student not only in the course of educational activities, but also in other forms of activity: creative, communicative, sports and recreational, and labor activities.

Sample portfolio structure:
1) TITLE SHEET

Contains basic information (last name, first name and patronymic; educational institution, class), contact information and photo of the student.

2) SECTION "MY WORLD"

Here you can place any information that is interesting and important for the child. Possible sheet headers:
· "My name" - information about what the name means can be written about famous people who bore and bear this name. If your child has a rare or interesting last name, you can find information about what it means.
· "My family" - here you can talk about each family member or write a short story about your family.
· "My city" - a story about your hometown (village, village), about its interesting places. Here you can also place a diagram of the route from home to school drawn together with your child. It is important that dangerous places are marked on it (road intersections, traffic lights).
· "My friends" - photos of friends, information about their interests and hobbies.
· "My hobbies" - a short story about what the child is interested in. Here you can write about classes in the sports section, studying at a music school or other educational institutions of additional education.
· "My school" - a story about the school and the teachers.
· "My favorite school subjects" - small notes about your favorite school subjects, built on the principle “I like... because...”. Also a good option with the name "School items" . At the same time, the child can speak out about each subject, finding in it something important and necessary for himself.

3) SECTION "MY STUDY"

In this section, the worksheet headings are dedicated to a specific school subject. The student fills this section with well-written tests, interesting projects, reviews of books read, graphs of reading speed growth, and creative works.
4) SECTION "MY PUBLIC WORK"

All activities that are carried out outside the framework of educational activities can be classified as social work (assignments). Maybe the child played a role in a school play, or read poetry at a formal assembly, or designed a wall newspaper for a holiday, or performed at a matinee... There are a lot of options. It is advisable to design this section using photographs and short messages on the topic.
5) SECTION "MY CREATIVITY"

In this section the child places his creative works: drawings, fairy tales, poems. If you have completed a large piece of work (craft), you need to include a photo of it. Parents need to give their child complete freedom when filling out this section!
6) SECTION "MY TRAVEL IMPRESSIONS"

In elementary school, children take an active part in excursion and educational programs, go to the theater, to exhibitions, and visit museums. At the end of the excursion or hike, it is necessary to offer the child creative homework, by completing which he will not only remember the content of the excursion, but will also have the opportunity to express his impressions.
7) SECTION "MY ACHIEVEMENTS"

Certificates, certificates, diplomas, letters of gratitude, as well as final attestation sheets are posted here. Moreover, in elementary school one should not separate in importance academic success (a certificate of merit) and success, for example, in sports (diploma). It is better to choose the arrangement not in order of importance, but, for example, in chronological order.

8) SECTION "REVIEWS AND WISHES"
Filled out by teachers of school and non-school institutions.

9) SECTION - "CONTENTS"

Do not get carried away with the design of this sheet, as it will have to be updated quite often.

Important to remember.

In the first grade, when a child is just starting to work on compiling a portfolio, he cannot do without the help of his parents. But as he grows up, this help should be kept to a minimum. From the very beginning, try to structure your child’s work in such a way that he himself puts some effort into creating a portfolio. In the process of work, the process of understanding one’s achievements inevitably occurs, the formation of a personal attitude towards the results obtained and awareness of one’s capabilities.
Preliminary results

Each student determines the forms of portfolio assessment for himself. It could be:

P public presentation at the end of the quarter or year (it can take place during a class hour or a parent meeting);

Portfolio evaluation criteria are also determined individually:

Creation;

Factors reflecting the child’s development (learning independence and activity, ability to learn, self-control and self-esteem);
