Our principal gave us, the Kindergarten team, a package of testing we have to do before December 5. It consists of Language Arts: letter and sound recognition, beginning sounds, high frequency words, DRA level reading, and 5 pages of writing. Then comes the Math...number recognition to 50, writing to 50, counting to 50. Recognizing shapes, doing graphs, beginning addition, and patterning.
Of course, every single thing has to be done individually, which means times 20 children.
Just for fun tomorrow we have an earthquake drill, Friday we have teacher collaboration and then Thanksgiving vacation, so in total we 10 days for testing, scoring and scanning it to the computer.
Oh and of course when we are testing a kid, we need to have something ready to have the other 19 children occupied lol.
Now you know why i love being a kindergarten teacher!
