Portfolio ideas.

This coloring sheet and huge dot to dot are from my daughter's portfolio.  Other than fine motor skills, I'm not sure the objectives to these, but she sure is proud of her detailed work.

Writing Workshop in 2nd

Here's how one second grade teacher I know organizes her daily writers workshop.  Each student gets a binder, they write daily on lined paper and then spend most of their time going through peer, teacher, parent helper and self editing with the second sheet below working on only a few areas of focus at a time.  It's really effective to see in action.

Cinderella Ate My Daughter

I read this with my book club and our discussion went on for hours.  Very interesting commentary and research about how pop culture influences gender identities.  Loved it!
