Karen's Assessment Ideas by Karen Williams https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha Formative Ways to Know My Student's Progress en-us 2018-02-21 02:46:18 UTC 2018-03-14 00:06:46 UTC hello@padlet.com Snowstorm karenevans92 https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha/wish/233585654 This is a excellent assessment tool that kids will love to engage in. The teacher directs the students to write down what they have learned on a piece of paper. You then instruct the children to wad up their paper and toss it in the air. Have each student pick up a "snowball" and read it allowed. ]]> 2018-02-21 02:57:41 UTC https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha/wish/233585654 $2 Summary karenevans92 https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha/wish/233586174 This is great assessment in which you have your students summarize their learning of the lesson by giving you two dollars (or more) worth of summary. This assessment not only reinforces what the students have learned it keeps them sharp on their skip counting by 10's. This activity gives the teacher a written idea of how students are progressing with the subject.]]> 2018-02-21 03:02:10 UTC https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha/wish/233586174 Gallery Walk karenevans92 https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha/wish/233588381 On chart paper, have students work in groups and write and draw what they have learned. Hang the charts around on the walls of the classroom. The teacher then has the students walk around the room and view each other's works. Their peers leave post it notes to give a compliment, ask questions, or expand on the idea. ]]> 2018-02-21 03:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha/wish/233588381 Traffic Light Out the Door Assessment karenevans92 https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha/wish/233589515 Instruct the students to rate their own level of understanding of the topic. They are given a card with a traffic light image showing a red, yellow, and green light. The teacher instructs the students to circle their level of comprehension of the lesson. Red means Stop. I am totally confused. Yellow means Proceed with caution. I might need some clarification. Green means go. I am ready to move on. The teacher can use this information to form learning groups for future reinforcement of the lesson.]]> 2018-02-21 03:28:56 UTC https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha/wish/233589515 Friday Fill-In karenevans92 https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha/wish/233591921 Have  students write a letter to their mom, dad or guardian to "Fill" them in on what they learned.  Have students express in a short letter.  It makes a perfect assessment for the teacher to see what content the children retained and connected with.  The letter is then sent home to show parents what their kids have been working on.  It also gives students an additional opportunity to work on letter writing skills. ]]> 2018-02-21 03:44:46 UTC https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha/wish/233591921 Laundry Day karenevans92 https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha/wish/234035103  Before a test have the students have a ‘laundry day’ to clean up whatever it is they still might not understand. Place different laundry jugs in 4 corners of the room. Each jug represents a different stage in their level of readiness for the test: Tide – students select this detergent if they are believe the tidal wave of information might drown them. Tide corner- activities include review of the content and/or an activity that might help the learners experience the information in a different way.  Gain – students select this detergent if they understand the basics of the concepts, but still seem to be missing some information. Activities in this corner involve investigation as students identify the details around which they are unsure Bold – students select this detergent if they are fairly confident they will pass the unit exam, but still have a few remaining questions. Bold activities include making possible review activities for future classes or test questions for the teacher to consider Cheer – students select this detergent if they are certain they will be successful on the exam. Cheer activities involve enrichment activities build on learning. Also, students may help the students in the Tide section. ]]> 2018-02-21 23:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha/wish/234035103 Roll the Die karenevans92 https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha/wish/234043995 At the end of a lesson have each student roll a die and briefly answers aloud a question based on the number rolled:
  1. I want to remember …
  2. Something I learned today
  3. One word to sum up what I learned
  4. Something I already knew
  5. I’m still confused about …
  6. An “aha” moment that I had today

It’s a great way to assess your children's understanding.  Place labels on the ground and then ask your students a question.  Have the students will form lines behind the labels and lay down to make a graph.]]> 2018-02-22 01:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha/wish/234049681 Chain Link karenevans92 https://padlet.com/karenevans92/unseo6vbu9ha/wish/234051879 In the chain link assessment, give the class  a question and have them write a response on a piece of paper.  Then, students begin passing around a stapler and add their link to a chain that begins forming. You can either review the entire chain’s answers with the class, have the children share one at a time, or read them after class.
