Let's get acquainted


It's me!

My family:


The child learns

What he sees in his home.

Parents are an example of this!!!

Family is the most dear and close people.

Every person dreams of a happy family, a home,

Where you are expected and loved.

For me, family starts with mom. Mom's affection, tenderness,

Warmth has surrounded me since the first days of my life.

My mother's name is Olga Yuryevna, she works as an accountant.

Mom is the keeper of the home.

The whole house rests on her fragile shoulders: for her after work

Need to cook, feed, clean, help with homework

And there is still a lot to do.

Sometimes I’m surprised how mom manages everything! In our house

It’s always warm and cozy for me, for dad, for the guests, and even for the animals.

I, of course, understand that mother alone cannot

create a good family, because a family is a team, and the climate

in a family must be created by all its members.

My dad's name is Vladimir Valerievich, he works at the Automobile Plant.

I love my dad very much. I'm very proud of him!

He is very strong and smart. Dad loves our whole family.

My dad has skillful hands, as he is always doing something at home: making crafts, repairing appliances. I love watching him work. U

Everything always turns out very easy for him.

Mutual assistance, care for everyone, kindness create warmth, comfort and well-being in our family.

Each family should have its own traditions, its own family holidays.

We in the family often remember fun events that happened

With us. These memories create a warm and cordial atmosphere in the house. We love to spend home holidays together. For us, this is, first of all: smiles, laughter, gifts, friends, loved ones with whom we want to meet and communicate. All this unites us and brings us joy. We celebrate family holidays at home, on an interesting trip,

in nature. We are often joined by friends of parents whose children have long become my friends.

I think that a home holiday is good, in which they take

Both adults and children participate. Such an evening of children with parents is a bridge that unites the family.

For me, family is a place where I will always look forward to returning.

My family is my support.

My family is my fortress.

My friends.


Secrets of my character.

I can: read, write, ride a bike.

____________________________

Most of all I want to learn:

swim very well.

I am happy: success at school. _______________________________

It makes me sad : when someone

swears or fights.

I like to go:

in the village with my grandparents.

________________________________

My cherished dream:

go to the sea.

My first teacher


My first teacher's name is Ivanova Valentina Ivanovna.

Valentina Ivanovna is an “Honorary Worker of General Education of the Russian Federation.”

Valentina Ivanovna has been working at our school No. 74 for a long time, since the beginning of its opening.

My teacher is a jack of all trades! She teaches us not only the Russian language,

reading and mathematics, but also drawing and labor. I really enjoy technology classes!

I learned to make crafts from cardboard and paper, and work with plasticine.

And I’m interested in drawing, because the lessons are so exciting!

And lately I like mathematics. Although this is a difficult subject,

Valentina Ivanovna explains clearly.

With our teacher we not only study, but also relax. She and I go to theaters, we recently went to the cinema to see a cartoon, and we go to exhibitions.

Valentina Ivanovna teaches us to be honest, kind, well-mannered people.

And she is very worried about our class 1 “B” if something doesn’t work out for us.

Good afternoon, dear visitor to our site. If your child is an elementary school student, this article may be of interest to you. Our children attend one of the gymnasiums in Minsk. And already in the first grade we were faced with the fact that it turns out that the student needs to have a portfolio. The fact that, of course, it will be the parents and not the student who will do it, is not interesting to the school. One way or another, there were two options: the first and easiest option was to download the student’s finished portfolio on one of the many sites offering such services. However, in this case, the portfolio of your desk neighbor may turn out to be a twin of the portfolio of your beloved child, which our parents could not allow. The second option is to show your imagination and let your child help you a little, and at the same time gain new skills. There is, of course, a third option - turn to professionals, but we decided that working together to create a portfolio for an elementary school student will give an additional impetus to the development of relationships with children and allow them to feel independent.

What is needed to make a student’s portfolio yourself

Color printer

Skills in Photoshop, Painte

A little imagination and patience

Communication with your child

Tips for creating a portfolio for an elementary school student

Do not include baby photographs of the child in your student’s portfolio, where he is in a stroller, with a pacifier, and the like. It is clear that they are dear to you, but remember that this is the portfolio of a small schoolchild, but already an adult. Leave your very childhood photographs for your home archive.

Allow your child to do some simple operations, put stars, leaves, circles, change the background on the pages of the portfolio, everything that you can show him, and he is able to do.

When writing text for photographs, ask your child what to write. A first grader can formulate what he would like to see in his portfolio. In this case, the portfolio will still look not like the work of an adult, but the work of a child.

Be sure to add the My Goals, My Dreams section to your portfolio, or combine My Goals and Dreams for example. Ask your first-grader what he dreams of, what he wants to become, find photographs on these topics, insert them into his portfolio, and sign the text. You will have another reason to draw your child’s attention to the fact that dreams are realized through goals. Setting a goal and realizing it is a way to get closer to your dream. Tell your little student that his initial goal is, for example, to finish primary school well and pass exams for admission to a gymnasium, because one can become, for example, a “space doctor” only by obtaining a higher medical education, and in order to obtain a higher medical education necessary...and so on. The lack of understanding among primary schoolchildren, and not only primary schoolchildren, why they study at school is one of the most important problems in raising a child.

Portfolio content

Here is the content that makes up the portfolio of our first-graders

1. Let's get acquainted

2.My family

3.Preparing for school - my kindergarten

4.My first class

5.My colleagues and college girls

6.My goals and dreams

7.My hobbies

8. Activities of our class

9.My results

10. Information about the clubs I attend

Briefly about each section of the portfolio

Let's get acquainted: in this section of the portfolio it is necessary to place a close-up photograph of the child, preferably in a business suit, write his last name and first name, birthday, place of residence, the history of his name (optional).

Preparing for school- my kindergarten: in this section of the student’s portfolio it is worth remembering the teachers of the kindergarten where your child attended preschool education. They certainly made a significant contribution to your children. The feeling of gratitude needs to be instilled from childhood.

My first class: all parents have photographs of first-graders on their first line, first bell. In this section of the portfolio you can place a photo of this event and definitely photos of the first teacher. Naturally, all photographs must be signed. Post some text, consult with your child. You will make a portfolio at a time when your child will know his classmates by name, and will be able to help you sign the photographs and choose the most important ones for him from all of them. It may be necessary to ask the parents of your child's classmates for permission to post photographs on the portfolio pages. We are all different, and many take personal space very seriously.

My colleagues and colleagues: This section may be called my friends or my comrades. It is clear from the title that the section should tell about your child’s classmates or his friends outside of school.

My goals and dreams: probably from the time your child began to realize himself as an individual, he has told you more than once what he wants to become. Every year, and sometimes every month, his dreams changed. But closer to school, your child no longer changes his preferences so quickly. Talk, find out what the child dreams of becoming, and at the same time remind him that his immediate goal is to finish elementary school well, which, of course, will bring your child closer to realizing his dreams. In general, this is a very interesting section. Constant attention on your part to goals and dreams will teach your child to think that we cannot let everything take its course, we make our own lives, and goals help us move in the right direction.

My hobbies: This is one of the most interesting sections of a portfolio to fill out. Here you can post and talk about your child’s clubs, sports sections, hobbies, and how he likes to relax. Ask him, you can learn a lot of new things. Constantly being busy and having problems prevent us from communicating with our child to the extent we would like. Therefore, do not miss the moment - your portfolio can become your common cause.

Our class activities: This section should be lined, like the next two. Here you can write down what activities in your class your child participated in, and what results he achieved together with the class: collecting waste paper, various sporting events, theatrical performances - the school is replete with such events.

My results: in this section, your teacher can mark your child’s results; various kinds of test tasks and your student’s drawings are also included in it.

Below is what we got. There were photographs in the frames, but they were cut out in order to preserve the personal space of the people around them.


We make presentations and portfolios to order. Your child will receive a personalized portfolio or presentation, rather than a template that half the class will have.

Example of a portfolio for a girl:

Parents of schoolchildren, upon learning that their child has received an assignment at school to create his own portfolio, very often fall into a stupor. And this is not surprising. After all, the design of a portfolio appeared relatively recently; almost all schools made its presence mandatory only in 2011.

It is necessary to start compiling a portfolio from the first grade; of course, a child at this age simply cannot cope with such a task, so the main work falls to the parents. But even they cannot always imagine how to correctly draw up this document.

What does a student's portfolio look like?

Various documents, photographs, works that reflect everything that a person knows and can do - all of this together is a portfolio. The child’s portfolio includes all information about him, his grades and performance at school.

If a student takes part in any sports competitions, participates in clubs, is active in extracurricular activities, or has interesting hobbies, this is also recorded in the documents.

A portfolio is created so that the student gradually begins to comprehend and realize his achievements, successes, awards, as a result of which the child has an incentive to develop his capabilities and abilities.

And if for some reason he transfers to another school, the documents will tell new teachers and classmates about him. And when entering college, the portfolios of talented schoolchildren can play a significant role.

A student’s portfolio can be of three types:

  1. Portfolio of documents. It includes certificates, awards, certificates and other materials documenting the child’s achievements
  2. Portfolio of works. It contains various creative and educational works, research projects, etc.
  3. Portfolio of reviews. It consists of characteristics given by teachers, parents, classmates regarding the student’s attitude towards different types of activities (academic, sports, etc.).

Of course, it is best if the portfolio is comprehensive and includes all types of documents.

How to create a student's portfolio?

If you approach it with creativity and imagination, creating a portfolio will not be difficult, the main thing is that both the child and the parents equally take part in this interesting activity.

Any portfolio is designed according to the following scheme: title page, various sections, appendices. All sheets can be made yourself on a computer in graphic or text programs and printed, or you can purchase sheets and ready-made forms in the store.

The title page must contain a photograph of the child, his first and last name, age, as well as class and school numbers.

The “My Portrait” (“My World”) section is filled out as follows. It indicates the child’s biography, information about his parents and friends. You can also write here your child’s hobbies, a short story about your hometown and school, etc. This is best done in the form of small notes (essays) and supported with photographs.

The student’s grades and progress are indicated in the “My Studies” section. You can also place information about your favorite subjects and teachers here, and add examples of your performance (essays, tests, etc.).

The “My Achievements” section will tell you about all kinds of certificates, medals, awards, and diplomas. You can attach real documents, or you can make copies of them. Also in this section you can write short stories about participation in events (sports, intellectual, competitions, olympiads) indicating the date of the event and the award received. The photo will bring the material to life.

All the child’s hobbies, be it poetry, drawings, crafts, etc., can be placed in the “My Creativity” section. In the “My impressions” section you can describe your emotions from trips to nature, excursions, theaters, etc.

It is also worth creating a “Feedback and Suggestions” section. In it, teachers and classmates will be able to write their opinions about the student and wishes. Don’t forget about the table of contents with page numbers for each section.

Your child's portfolio will be constantly updated with new pages, so don't forget to leave room for them.

2) After this, write your residential address (actual and registered).
In the student’s autobiography, you can write about graduating from kindergarten (name and year of graduation).
3) It is also necessary to indicate the name, school number, year of admission, class profile. 4) It is advisable to write about the main achievements at school: participation in sports competitions, Olympiads, diplomas, awards.
5) In addition, in the student’s autobiography you can talk about the main interests, hobbies, PC skills, and knowledge of foreign languages.

EXAMPLE 1: with one general photo:

Family is important for every person. To all family members
we need to show warmth to each other, respect our relatives and
loved ones. You need to learn to live with loved ones - you will
live in peace and with other people. No wonder it's Russian
The proverb says: “The best treasure is when there is harmony in the family.”

Page 4 - the meaning of my name.
It may be named after a relative, this can be indicated.
You can find the meaning of the name on the Internet.
For example:
A name is the personal name a person is given at birth. Each name has its own interpretation. This is what my name means:
Mark comes from the Greek name Markos, which in turn comes from the Latin word "marcus" - hammer. There is also a second version of the origin of this name, that it comes from the god of war, Mars. Shortened versions: Markusha, Marik, Markusya, Masya.

The patronymic name did not appear in Rus' right away; only people who deserved the tsar’s trust were allowed to have it. Now everyone has a middle name and it is given according to the personal name of the father.
My patronymic is Andreevich

Surnames have long been the privilege of people with position, and for ordinary people a surname was an “unaffordable luxury.” A person's surname is an inherited family name.
My last name is ----

Page 5 - My friends -
photos of friends, information about their interests and hobbies.
A photo shared with friends or each individual with a story.

Examples:

This is Misha. I've been friends with him since childhood. He comes to his grandmother and we play there.

Page 6 - My city (or my little homeland - for a private house)
A photo of the city and write a few lines with your child about what is remarkable about your city.

Example for \"my little homeland\" + photo of the house:
Homeland is the country in which a person
was born, with which the life of his family and the life of everything is connected
the people to which he belongs. There are two
concepts – “big” and “small” Motherland. Big Motherland -
This is our huge country with the proud name of Russia.
Small Motherland is the place where you were born, it is home,
in which you live. No wonder the Russian proverb says:
“A man without a homeland is like a nightingale without a song”

An elementary school student’s portfolio is a certain set of various documents, characteristics, photographs, samples of completed educational work, diplomas, awards, certificates of merit, which must be submitted for examination to the selection committee of a particular educational institution. Thanks to the portfolio, you can get a preliminary general picture about the child, his knowledge and achievements, what he has achieved and who he wants to become.

Of course, without the help of parents, a child will not be able to independently compose his biography and give a full assessment of his knowledge and achievements, so parents need to know the rules for drawing up such an important “document.”

Ways to design a portfolio for a primary school student

There are several ways to correctly format and compile the so-called student’s resume:


  1. You can find samples of your child’s ready-made presentation for an educational institution on the Internet, but there is a high probability of duplication.

  2. It is more advisable to study the rules for creating a portfolio and create it together with your child. Such a portfolio will definitely be bright and memorable, which will accordingly increase your child’s chances. And the most important thing is that you and your baby will make it together. It will also help you learn a lot of new things about your child, what he thinks about, what he wants to achieve, what he wants to change and much more.

  3. If you don’t like the first two methods and don’t want to waste time, then you can turn to specialists. But you must be prepared to pay for this service. In addition, no one guarantees that information about your child will be presented correctly.


How to create a portfolio for an elementary school student yourself

To independently prepare a portfolio for an elementary school student, you will need the following:


  • Fantasy

  • Patience

  • Printer (preferably color)

  • Ability to work with Painte and Photoshop programs

The content of your child’s portfolio may consist of several main sections, in which the following topics should be comprehensively covered:

  1. Let's get acquainted.
    1.1. My portrait (photo);
    1.2. Personal data;
    1.3. My family;
    1.4. My friends;
    1.5. Character;
    1.6. Hobbies;
    1.7. What I want to become;
    1.8. My goals and hobbies;

  2. A collection of educational achievements.

  3. A collection of creative works.

The photo below shows examples, you can expand them at your discretion.




Once you and your child have decided what information you will provide, start writing meaningfully.

In the first section, write the student’s full details: full name, date of birth. Be sure to include a photo of the child, preferably in a business suit. When writing the “my family” subsection, describe the student’s parents, if there are brothers or sisters, indicate them and, if desired, place their photo. Consult with your child and find out from him who he considers his friend or girlfriend - let him describe him or her in detail. Pay special attention to describing the child’s character, his hobbies, what he dreams of and what he wants to achieve, in school and in life.

In the sections on educational and creative achievements, try to provide information about academic success, participation in school Olympiads, sports competitions, theatrical performances and other educational, creative and sporting events. If you have certificates and awards, be sure to indicate and include color copies of them in your portfolio. Examples of creating different sections are given below.
