As we're approaching the end of the year, I'm really wishing I'd done something like this for this year's class. I recently pulled out some papers from the first of the year and was shocked by the improvement in their handwriting, spelling, and drawing skill!
Use one set of pages on the first school day of each month in the 2012-2013 school year, keep them in sheet protectors in a binder with other portfolio type projects/assessments, and at the end of the year, you'll have documented your students' growth with very little effort.

We are lucky enough at our school to have Meet the Teacher Day in May every year where we get to meet our new littles. That's why there is a Meet the Teacher Day/May 2012 sheet there. :)
I seriously can't wait to start these!
Happy Monday!
Have a great week!
Have a great week!
I'm hoping to survive the day. Do you see the posting time of 3:20 am?! Sigh. I fell asleep on the couch Sunday afternoon and slept for almost an hour. I'm not a napper. Consequently, I'm wide awake at 3:20 am. I've been up working on stuff for school since about 1:12. So not cool.
