Showcase Your Young Author’s Writing in a Writing Portfolio

Showcase Your Young Author’s Writing in a Writing Portfolio

The On the Road to a Proper Paragraph system works so well in my classroom, I decided to give our Writing Portfolios a makeover to match our writing theme: A Road Map for Writing.  And I am thrilled with the results!

Since my students have had great success in writing proper paragraphs, we needed something extra special to showcase our writing throughout the year! This is the result!

Celebrate your students' writing using these monthly writing portfolios. Your students will proudly showcase their personal narratives and nonfiction writing in these Writing Portfolios. Your students will look forward to adding to their collection during your Writers Workshop. #firstgrade #writersworkshop

They take so much pride in their writing, knowing they have a special place to store their writing pieces. Their families just love to look throught them during Open House and Student-led Conferences.  At the end of the year, I provide my students with extra publishing paper so they can continue to add to their portfolio during the summer months.  It’s a #teacherwin.

You can personalize the writing portfolio covers with your students’ names. Be sure to have your students date stamp their writing pieces so that you can file them away using these adorable monthly tabs. Teach your children the benefit of creating a Table of Contents for their portfolios. What a professional touch! And lastly, adhere the editable spine label so that the portfolios can be located quickly and easily when stored in your classroom library!

    You know how much I love your Road to Paragraph resource, so this is a great way to showcase student work. Every writer needs a portfolio but younger students can't organize it well, so this is definitely going to help with that. I love all the features with this product, especially that it is editable and comes in different colors. Love, Love, Love! Your students and the parents will love this too. It's like a keepsake of their child's work and that is so special!

    This looks like so much fun. Not just a great way to show off student work, but a great way to organize all my writing resources. The car tabs are just too cute!!!

If you’re like me, you consider teaching a form of art. Having taught for 20 years, I have created many teaching resources, and here at The K Files, I would like to share them with you. As a mother of three boys and a “school mom” for my students, it is my belief that the classroom is a “home away from home”. From my home away from home…. …to yours.

I was afraid to give up my first grade library when I switched to third, thinking some of my students would still have the need for them.  But that many? I may have hoarded them for three years.  Time to let these go! I plan to share them with my colleagues.
Those of you who teach third, do you organize your books by reading level or topic?

When a student tries to “think about their thinking while reading”, they learn to recognize when comprehension breaks down and utilize a fix-up strategy to improve their comprehension.
Metacognition involves:
-Become aware of their thinking while they read
-Identify confusion and roadblocks that complicate comprehension
-Identify and utilize a strategy to improve comprehension
Also, check out the Guru anchor Charts© that were designed to help students take ownership of their learning.  By assigning a reading strategy/skill guru to EACH of your students, you will have created a student-centered classroom.  Your students will be engaged, excited and will become experts in their “field” and equipped to teach their classmates throughout the year.

Writing sub plans can be a nuisance especially if Writing sub plans can be a nuisance especially if you or a loved one are feeling under the weather and need care.  The idea of dragging yourself into work to prepare sub plans and lay out all the materials needed for the day can be a dreaded task.  That is why you should set yourself up for successful sick days by setting up a sub tub. Write your plans once and forget about them for the remainder of the year. Set it and forget it…with an organized Sub Tub!  http://thekfiles.com/2024/03/12/sub-plans/. #iteach #backtoschool #thirdgrade #iteachthird #elementaryteacher.
