Melonheadz Strategies & Portfolios Revisited


Happy Saturday, Everyone!
I am loving my new dollar dreams. It is so much fun to plan a special thank you for you each and every week.
Think, Wonder, & Teach - Melonheadz Strategies This week, I am sharing with you the set of reading and comprehension strategies posters I made. These are based off of the beanie baby ones we all know and love. Just like my black/white/red version but with Melonheadz Illustrations!
LOVE THESE!
In other news, I came across 2 new blog posts this week both about creating portfolios. As I am working on mine still, I love seeing how other people are creating theirs!!
First up… HoJos Teaching Adventures! I really like how she created a section for each subject in her porfolio. This makes it easy to flip to and reference. However, it needs more color and pizzazz for me. I do like how she made miniature copies of work sheets instead of the full size ones into her binder as that makes it easier to add more to a page! Plus it takes up less room.
Next… Flamingo Fabulous in Second Grade! She re-did her porfolio based off of HoJos. I love all of the pictures of her with her class. She can show people what she is doing not just talk about it. Since no one really ever reads a portfolio, I thought this was great!
I have spend so much time writing things for my portfolio and I know it will never be read. But its a requirement… at least it is a good reflection, right??
I also loved that she meets with her students at the local public library on break! What a fun idea!! And a great way to promote and instead a love for reading.
Think, Wonder, & Teach - Dollar Dreams
Remember… Every Dollar Dream deals are only good on Saturday and every week I am changing it out for a different product. There is no rhyme or reason to what will be on sale next… its completely random!

  3. WOW. We don't have to do portfolios, although I would think they ARE a great way to reflect. I do a lot of reflection anyway. Sometimes too much I think and then my head starts spinning... :)
