Target: library portfolios primary level

[Rebekah Olson <nyolson@IMCNET.NET>]

As part of a school-wideeffort to use portfolios as one means of
assessment, I am being asked to help every first grade student (some 150 of
them) to develop a portfolio based on the library program (with art, music
& phys ed doing the same).  One suggestion given to me was to compile a
list of all the books each student took out - you know, computers can do
anything! (this from my new team leader who is a young - and clueless, as
far as libraries go - phys ed teacher ) My first step is to clue him in to
what my program encompasses.  But, I am so far somewhat at a loss to come
up with what meaningful kinds of things such young students could put in a
portfolio.  My contact with them is a 30 minute storyhour every other week.
I do help some of the readers with a simple research project in the
spring, but that won't create a portfolio for the majority. Is anybody else
doing this? Any ideas?
