Write your portfolio Summary
Example:
This portfolio is dedicated to child’s name, my focus child. I have observed him during the fall
2014 semester at a Lab School. This portfolio is a record of my observations concerning child’s
name learning process, and some of the activities in which child’s name was involved during the
semester. This portfolio contains reports of different aspects of development that I have learned
this semester, and the theories as they apply to child’s name. It also contains some pictures,
sample projects, project assessment tests, and a report on a parent conference. I hope that this
portfolio will give the reader a better understanding of child’s namedevelopment during these
few months.
Introduction to child’s name
(Example)
The child is four years and ten months old boy who attends classes five days a week at the
CSUN Lab School preschool facility. The child is an independent and friendly child who likes to
play, read, and share with others. The child has many notable qualities. He is an outgoing boy
with a zest for reading, building, and physical activities. He interacts with teachers and peers,
and is comfortable playing on his own. He is progressing well in all four aspects of development;
physical, cognitive, personality, and social.
