Pumpkin Poem

From: DLTK


One day I found two pumpkin seeds.
I planted one and pulled the weeds.
It sprouted roots and a big, long vine.
A pumpkin grew; I called it mine.
The pumpkin was quite round and fat.
(I really am quite proud of that.)
But there is something I'll admit
That has me worried just a bit.
I ate the other seed, you see.
Now will it grow inside of me?
(I'm so relieved since I have found
That pumpkins only grow in the ground!)

Portfolio Ideas

I take pictures of each of the children in each center, through out the year. I then tape them on a sheet of paper that tell about that center and the importance of it in their child's growth process.  I spiral bound the papers and then they have a booklet to keep from preschool.

or

Each month, beginning with the first month, children draw their self-portraits. At the end of the year the pages are bound and the cover is titled "Look How I've Grown!" This is a great way to show parents progress.
