Preschooler's portfolio

Portfolio is a folder of achievements. All parents with a special thrill anticipate the day when their child first time goes to first grade. With the onset of this moment, they congratulate the newly-made schoolboy and certainly note that now he begins a "new life", "will learn", "in time he will achieve a lot." But the child does it all from the first seconds of his life. He goes to school, already having some experience, a certain amount of knowledge. To know what your baby is, the teacher should know about all his achievements. In all this, the preschooler's portfolio will help him.

Ovchinka is worth the candle

The child is continuously learning. But, in order to ensure that success in development does not take long to wait, adults must create the appropriate conditions for it: immerse in an atmosphere of dialogue, exciting activities, creative activity. Collecting the preschooler's portfolio, you will not only record the successes in it, but you will also be able to track the dynamics, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of its development.

Sending a child to school, parents should find an opportunity to talk with caregivers, ask what he is in the society, whether contact, sociable. But teachers who know the child on the one hand (in the team), it is very useful to know him on the other (alone with himself and in the family). Agree, any, even very emotional words, are inferior to "illustrative material." Portfolio for the preschooler is the folder of his development, growth, achievements. Such a folder is a good help for any child's specialist.

Functions

If your family council decided to collect a preschooler's portfolio, it is first of all to outline its main functions. It is necessary that there was no "gathering for the sake of the process itself".

The portfolio functions of the preschooler include:

- diagnostic - it records the growth and changes (mental and physical) for certain time periods;

- goal-setting - defines educational goals (and what exactly and why we teach the baby);

- substantial - shows the range of works performed by the child;

Motivational - encourages the child for the achieved results;

- Developing - provides a continuous process of learning and development from year to year;

- rating - shows the whole range of skills.

What will it be like?

Portfolio preschool must certainly be bright and colorful. Ideally, it should be for the child's favorite "picture book" and a source of pride. Work on a preschooler's portfolio can begin with a joint selection of the cover. It is desirable that the child himself painted the dividing sheets. Not all at once, gradually. Let some of them remain black and white for a while. On the one hand, put a separator in the "file folder", colored by the child, and on the other - the adult. Your child will be happy to work together. Before replenishing the preschooler's portfolio with something new, ask his opinion on this. It should like not only you, but him.

Decor

For the preschooler's portfolio, you need a folder - ideally an archive folder. A hard cover and a reliable attachment mechanism will not let it get too worn out during use. Choose a folder with a smart, colorful cover - it's for a child, not for an adult serious man. Additionally, purchase the in-box folders of the appropriate formats.
