Pizza Portfolios

Kathleen White, a fourth grade teacher at University Park Creative Arts School in Charlotte, North Carolina

On the first day of school I give each student a pizza box turned inside out. The student decorates the box and writes his/her name on the top and each side. Every two weeks, the child places a piece of work inside the box, forming a portfolio. The children love sharing these with visitors and parents. At the end of the year, they are able to take them home.
