Modern education stakes not so muchon the formation of new skills and the assimilation of knowledge, but on the self-development of the student's personality, prompting him to carry out creative, research, project activities. One of the manifestations of such stimulation is the recently emerged tradition to create a portfolio for each student. Some kindergarten teachers working in close contact with the school are beginning to implement this work with the parents of the children of the preparatory groups. Well and in the first class practically before each family there is a problem of creation of a portfolio for an elementary school. For girls and boys who are beginning to learn, it is required to create a certain diary-report on successes and achievements, including information on different spheres of their life.
It is believed that if the boy canTo use as a diary of achievements a simple file folder, the portfolio for girls should be something supernatural. In fact, there is no particular difference: children of both sexes need a colorful album that you want to view yourself and show to others.
For totally employed parents, there istime-saving option with the use of ready-made portfolio templates for the elementary school (for the girl), where you only need to write down answers to questions and paste photos.
The portfolio consists of a title page witha photo of a schoolgirl, a table of contents and three sections, the first of which contains information about the student, in the second - a compilation of evidence of her achievements during training, and in the third - a collection of creative works. With the latter everything is clear - diplomas, letters and letters of appreciation, as well as drawings, photographs of handicrafts and children's compositions are simply placed in files and inserted into the folder (it is more convenient to use a large one, with rings) Here the creation of the first requires the greatest effort. It includes sheets about the name (decoding, meaning), family (with photos), hometown, friends, hobbies, school, learning subjects and favorite teachers, as well as address data with the drawing of the route from home to school (especially the most dangerous places of the road, focusing on them the attention of the child). It will also be interesting to include such lovely details as a contour or a fingerprint of a child's hand, a self-portrait,
Many parents are not enthusiastic aboutthe idea of teachers, but in vain. Time and effort spent on creating a portfolio will quickly and fully pay off. Firstly, the overall activity of the child and the parent will bring them very close, because it is not normal for families to communicate regularly in their own pleasure, more often the time goes to other things that are "more important" and "useful", and conversations with the children remain for later. And when will this come next? It is not known ... And so in the family there is an act of joint creativity, as a result of which parents find out for themselves whether they know everything about the interests and hobbies of their child, his friends, the situation in the classroom and other life aspects. Help in creating and decorating the album gives mom or dad an extra bonus, the child starts to be even more proud of them, so skillful and talented, the authority of the older members of the family grows. It turns out, that all in a prize!
