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!

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!
