I use this approach - I also include photo.  In the first term  I do them, in the second term we review them with the child and so they are encouraged to make stuff for them or asked that their work be saved in them.

I have just begun to use portfolios and work samples in my program of three year olds.  This year, I chose the work samples to include in the mid-year and end-of-year collections.  Next year, (I am looping with this class) I will include the children in selecting their samples.  i am also looking to hear from other teachers who currently use this approach!

I would like to hear how other teachers use "work sample" portfolios in their programs. Do the children pick what to put in? How do you share them with the parents?

what exactly is a work portfolio? What do you put in it? how does it help the children learn and grow?
