Portfolios at CHS
For students in Kindergarten through Third Grade, portfolios are a special part of the Art Program at CHS. Artwork is created, displayed and collected throughout the year. In May, the young artists reflect on the year's activities by looking through their accumulated work as we assemble their portfolios. Each student selects and shares a favorite piece of work with the class.
After portfolio reflection activities, students take their portfolios home, share their work with parents, and return their empty portfolios to school for use the next year. Many parents report anticipating this event and enjoy looking at their child's work all at once, talking about it, and sharing this moment of accomplishment with their children.

Talking with your children about their artwork provides an opportunity for meaningful conversation. For suggestions about talking about art with children, please see my blog post: Talking with Children about Art: An Opportunity for Meaningful Conversation.
