What is assessment?
Assessment is a critical component of the teaching process. Even Kindergarten Teachers assess what their students know so they will better understand what they need to teach. Assessing our students will keep us from teaching concepts that have already been mastered- thus wasting valuable time. Assessing students allows the teacher to teach critical skills that must be mastered now in order for the student to be successful in the next grade. Your child will periodically come home with an assessment sheet to let you know where your child is, and ho far they have to go till mastery.
What skills will be assessed?
Through the year I will assess anything that is being taught in the classroom. For example, if I am teaching patterns, colors, shapes, rote counting, number identification, and one-to-one correspondence daily during math then those skills will need to be assessed several times throughout the year to see how well your child is comprehending what I am teaching.
