What type of data are you gathering to get to know my child?

4B students are completing many assessments during the first few weeks of school, which are vital to getting to know them. Often the assessment is in the form of a game, such as Scoot. This way students do not realize it is truly a test. These assessments then help teachers guide instruction and differentiate and personalize instruction.

Here are some examples:
*Running records which inform words per minute fluency, Just Right reading levels, inferencing skills, and the like
*50 Multiplication Facts in 3 minutes
*Pre-testing for geometry content and vocabulary knowledge
*Pre-testing for multi-digit multiplication and division skills
*On Demand summary writing
*Daily Oral Language sentences, which help us see who applies the rules of capitalization and the like

I will not send all of these items home, but you may come in and see them by making an appointment with me or Ms. Deanna after the 4th week of school.
