Portfolios in Kindergarten: learning stories

Our Kindergarten team decided to change the way we reflect on learning. We decided to reflect after every unit of inquiry (we have 4 units in K) not through report cards but with help of portfolios. We did use portfolios on the day of student led conferences, however it was only happening once a year. We think that it is important for parents to hear a learning story from a child rather than teachers. And it should happen often. What did we change?

Habitats for Animals (summative assessment)

She also put some rice into an egg box and she thought that her bird would need some water and she cut apiece of blue fabric to show water. One boy decided to make a kitten by using play dough and a photo of a real cat. a habitat for a whale shark a savana for a giraffe a home for a dog... this rabbit has a place to live! And he has a carrot to eat! Great Job, Starfish!
