This packet has everything you need to help children create a portfolio throughout the year! It has pages kindergarten kids may use to track their own progress, to make learning even more meaningful. Included in this packet are: a parent letter explaining the portfolio, letter and sound recognition pages, goal setting forms, sight word recognition pages, writing sample pages, number writing pages, number recognition pages, and an invitation to a celebration of learning. This is a wonderful way to help children celebrate their learning success, no matter how big or small. Kim Swoveland
I really like this portfolio. It is very cute! I wish that there were editable templates for the number writing and high frequency words. Our expectations for kindergarten are a little bit different in my area.

Fantastic goals book to help supplement our required data notebooks. Thanks!
I bought this mid-year and found it difficult to back up and get everything in there, but I LOVE the product and can't wait to start really using it next year. Love goal setting by kinders!
Thanks so much for the feedback! I am sorry it was difficult to start mid-year...I totally understand. Starting at the beginning will be so much easier next year. Thanks for your support on TpT!

THANK YOU!!! This has been invaluable for collecting data and presenting to parents at conference time! It keeps me on top of assesment in a timely manner. I love your products!
Thanks so much! It is so nice to show students their growth, too, so they can feel good about what they are learning at school. I really appreciate your kind words and your support on TpT!
this is great for having students come and see their goals and what gains they are making!! Super easy format makes it easy to share with parents at conference time too!!
Thanks so much! They are always so proud to see their own growth...and parents have seemed to really like it, too. Thanks for your kind words and support on TpT.

Kim, I purchased this packet and I love it! You are so creative! I am hoping to use this for my kiddos this school year, but our school year does not match your school year. We begin in September and end in June, is there any way you could change the months for me and then email me the packet? I would really appreciate it! I look forward to your response. Cindy Coons
Cindy,
First of all, THANK YOU for taking the time to leave feedback!! Hearing from other teachers is my favorite part of selling on TpT. I am sure you are not the only person in this boat, so I will add other months to the pack and repost it as an update. You will be able to download it again, free of charge, and print only what you need. Give me a day or two and I will have it posted. Have a great summer and thanks, again, for the kind words. **** Cindy - Please shoot me an e-mail of the four months you need included, so I can make sure the revisions are what you need. kswoveland@nccsc.k12.in.us September, December?, March?, June THANKS!******The update is posted. Let me know if this is what you needed.
Love this! I will have to tweak it a little bit to match our quarters (October and January instead of November and February) This will be a great start! Thank you!!
Thanks so much! Your sweet feedback is really appreciated. Let me do the tweaking for you! Just send me exactly what needs changed and I can e-mail it to you, since you may not have the same fonts. (Don't forget to let me know your e-mail address.) ***I see that you are a new seller on TpT. Way to go! I can't wait to see what wonderful things you have in store for us. Good luck!

Hi Kim,
I like your Kindergarten Goal Book Portfolio, but I was wondering if I could make changes for my class. I am a Pre-K teacher and I would like to have something like this to use with my students. I had to add things and maybe not use others. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work with others!
You are so sweet! I got your e-mail and have started the changes. It takes a little while because all of the letters you are referring to are actually clipart letters and have to be changed one-by-one. Just give me a day or two and I will send them your way!
What clip art/fonts did you use for this? I already purchased, but will need to make a few changes for the months that they are done. Our 2nd and 3rd quarters are a bit different. I love the packet, but I definitely need it to match...I have issues!! :-) Thank you!!!!
If you send me your e-mail address, I will change it for you and send it to you as an attachment, if that would help. You won't be able to change it since it is posted as a pdf, without cutting and pasting, and who wants to do that?? : ) I had to purchase the clipart from Scrappin' Doodles and the font from Lettering Delights. I don't want you to have to purchase those just to make a few changes. Just let me know exactly what needs changed and give me a day or so and I will send it to you. I hope this helps. You may submit it as a question here or e-mail me at kswoveland@nccsc.k12.in.us. Thanks! Kim

Hi Kim,
I am interested in purchasing your Kindergarten Goal Book Portfolio, but we start school in September, and I am wondering if the pages that say August could be changed to September. Please let me know.
That would be no problem at all! Could you let me know what months you are in school and I will post it as a separate unit, for those of you who do not start in August? Just shoot me an e-mail at kswoveland@nccsc.k12.in.us and I will get the unit posted so the goals start in September and end when your school ends. Thanks! I look forward to hearing from you.
