Neal's Portfolio

Neal had portfolio sharing on Friday. Did you read the note on an earlier post? This a typical Barton activity where the kids save work from all their content areas and especially projects, art work and big writing pieces in a portfolio. At the end of each semester, there are portfolio days to share with families. I photographed a few things from Neal's on Friday morning.

 Neal's review of Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

Two poems written to describe the painting above.

 Still Life on it's side. Sorry.

Self-portrait.

Christmas

Sadly, I forgot to take one of the dinner table.  You can see the morning damage, the yearly portrait with Vicky and the kitchen prep! Thanks everyone for such a wonderful Christmas.

Getting Everything Ready for Dinner.

Well, at least we can walk on the lake. 

The kids posing with Vicky for their annual holiday photo. 

Use your imagination to insert photo of the dinner table here! Chef too busy drinking prosecco and digging in drawers for serving spoons to remember to take the photo. Merry Christmas.

Isabel The Poet

Izzy completed her poetry anthology today. She crafted a beautiful book with secret storage for each of her poems. Looks beautiful.

Neal's Note

Found this in Neal's backpack. It is an invite for his portfolio review on the last day before break. I loved that it said it started at 8. I could make him a lunch and then take him home early.
