Highlighted idea : Pizza Box Portfolios

Students keep their best work in a "pizza box portfolio."  Use pizza boxes to create the portfolios.  Fold the boxes inside out so students have a blank box to design.  Portfolios are kept in the classroom until the end of the year, and then sent home so families can see the growth of their young writers!

Happy new year
