We have just finished our first reading and math units. They did a wonderful job taking their first whole group assessment. This is a new experience for us. We have to learn how to use testing materials properly. The children are learning how to listen and follow directions in order to show us what they know. This is a process we will be working on all year. We will re-assess throughout the year to show growth. We are letting the children know we do not expect them to be perfect yet. This is their first time doing many of these things and they need to practice still.
Most of our assessments are still done one-on-one. With the trimester ending at the end of this month, we are re-evaluating many things such as letters and numbers. We will be sending home assessments and checks as we complete them. I am thrilled to see such amazing growth since the beginning of the school year! Please take time to celebrate with your child!
