Bigger and Better Kindergarten Portfolio/Memory Book

I made my first attempt at a Kindergarten Portfolio and Memory book last Summer. While the pack is one of my most popular items, and has gotten great reviews....I just wasn't totally happy with it. For one, I made it with an old program. The program was easy to use...but didn't produce the highest quality products. I have also had several requests from people on things to change in the portfolio-but I couldn't make changes to it because the old program is not compatible with my new computer!! Ahhhhh!


So, I decided to remake the ENTIRE packet!;) I'm sooo excited with how it turned out!! It is so much clearer and cleaner and I have added several new ideas! I'm also planning to remake the Pre-K and 1st grade portfolios-so, if you have any suggestions you'd like to see added to those, PLEASE let me know!;)

If you already own the Kindergarten packet, PLEASE visit my store to download the new copy!!! If you don't own it yet, please visit my TPT store to check it out HERE!


The packet includes:
-A poem page for each month with a spot to add pics of the child from that month
-Self portrait pages for each month (boy/girl options)
-Alphabet and number writing pages for each month
-A writing prompt for each month

There is also an "All About Me" section that includes pages about:
-Home and family
-School and teacher
-Birthday
-Telephone #
-Lost tooth chart
-And lots more...

If you're reading this...it means you read my ENTIRE post:) So, I'm giving you a chance to win this packet. Just leave me a comment about the pack and I will randomly pick one of you tomorrow evening:)
