Assessment: What Topic Should I Do For 1st Grade?
I’m in an assessment class for early childhood education and haven’t been in a classroom yet. I have a huge project where I have to create an assessment for a topic in an age group. I chose 1st grade and just was wondering what are some topics / themes that are covered in 1st grade that you could suggest for me to make my assessment on? I do have to actually give this assessment to 2 children in first grade.
Are 1st Grade Classes Divided Up According To The Kindergarten End Of Year Assessment Tests?
My child’s new 1st grade teacher is a fresh-out-of-college teacher. My child’s end-of-year assessment test showed him as being 16th in the class. He is really smart but he has a problem with paying attention so I think he did not do his best on the test. (I think he was not challenged enough in Kindergarten.) Anyway, my husband thinks he may have been put into the slower-learner class being that he has a less experienced teacher. Do you think that is the case? He is a lot more advanced than other kids his age and I’m afraid that if he is not challenged he will have behavior problems again.
