Objectives and content
What should include a portfolio for primary school?The content of teacher we found.But the student?And do it the kids at all?The main objectives of primary education, in addition to the transfer of knowledge and the formation of appropriate skills, you can call and disclosure and other creative abilities of children, creating the most convenient conditions for their implementation;development of cognitive motivations for each student and the class as a whole;the formation of positive moral qualities, needs, ideals and many others.In light of this conclusion: Portfolio for primary school, if the teacher decides to start it must contain such materials, which, on the one hand, would help the children in their studies, and on the other, would allow to realize the creative potential of every child and serve as an instrument of approval, andthe promotion of his work.
Examples of possible portfolio
To a child it was convenient to store material, which will be constantly updated, it needs to have two folders: one large, plain - in it he will be at home to put all the necessary papers for permanent storage, and the second -oilcloth or cardboard on a string to wear the right lessons.Since this portfolio for primary school does not necessarily introduce a uniform shape.You can allow the children to experiment with colors, appearance.But the cover sheets already require a single sample - the student's name, number and letter grade, the name of the institution.Next to the folder you want to insert several files - for fills sections.For example, the portfolio for primary grades may contain cards and other support material in mathematics (samples with the multiplication table, signs "more" / "less" and others.), Natural history.This is easy to create a folder for each subject.Punch cards on the Russian language, symbolic image for the rules, circuit analysis of words and sentences, any extracts from the works studied in the book to read, favorite quotes - all this is not only permissible but desirable for the portfolio of primary school pupils.A big plus would be the advice of the teacher to the boys put in a folder and own drawings, illustrations of the most memorable fragments of literary texts, proverbs and sayings, as his writings on any subject.In this case, the students will be a great incentive for self-expression.Finally, personal information.It can also be placed in the portfolio of primary school students ready for the other sections.Invite the children to look for information on his behalf, of the interesting events that occurred in the country and the world in the year of their birth, admission to the garden and 1st class.Let them tell a little about his family, interests, hobbies, friends - this information will help them to understand themselves as individuals themselves, and give a lot of food for thought about their wards by teachers.
course by the teacher should be control over the filling of the portfolio, but without undue pressure and rigor.
