That's a great assessment document - a great way to see where students are at.</p> <p>@Mamaof2: @looch: Thanks for the info. I've been told different things from friends so this definitely give me a better sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-goeswent-to-public-kindergarten#post-2768565 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 13:00:06 +0000 808love 2768565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: Here's a good resource and you can see what a typical end of the year assessment looks like.<br /> <a href="http://mrsriccaskindergarten.blogspot.com/2012/02/common-core-assessment-packet-freebies_23.html" rel="nofollow">http://mrsriccaskindergarten.blogspot.com/2012/02/common-core-assessment-packet-freebies_23.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-goeswent-to-public-kindergarten#post-2768549 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 12:11:02 +0000 looch 2768549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: No, they are required to be able to solve it, using pictures, a number line, 10 frame or counting cubes.</p> <p>I would think the requirements would for sure differ from state to state. I also think you're going to have some school districts in the state that also have a large population of ELL kids, so the requirements might be adjusted to reflect that too.</p> <p>Additionally, I have learned that reading comprehension is a big item, that if the teacher determines there are comprehension issues, they can suggest summer school, even in Kindergarten. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-goeswent-to-public-kindergarten#post-2768548 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 12:10:40 +0000 Mamaof2 2768548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Freckles: if still interested this is what was on DDs final screening at the end of K for Literacy:</p> <p>Letter Identification (upper and lower)<br /> Letter sounds<br /> Concepts about Print (difference between letters, words, punctuation and directionality)<br /> Blending Syllables/sounds<br /> sight words (42)<br /> Writing Spree (comprehension)<br /> Hearing sounds</p> <p>Math:<br /> Correct letter and number formation to 100<br /> Counting to 100 by 2's 5's and 10's<br /> Recognize and draw shapes<br /> Counting backwards from 20<br /> Recognize coins and their value<br /> Graphing<br /> Beginning addition and subtraction (this is a 1st grade skill but they touch on it at the end of the year) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-goeswent-to-public-kindergarten#post-2768544 Fri, 18 Aug 2017 12:01:14 +0000 Freckles 2768544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I somehow missed your response to this - sorry! I'm guessing that the requirements seem to be different depending on your school district or state/country? With the math - are they required to know this mentally? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-goeswent-to-public-kindergarten#post-2734558 Thu, 11 May 2017 12:55:40 +0000 looch 2734558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good question, I am not really sure.</p> <p>I know for reading they use DIBELs assessment, so they should be at the green level, but they'd be moved up regardless of progress, just with additional support in first grade.</p> <p>As for math, they're supposed to be able to do single digit subtraction and addition, including solving and creating word problems, simple graphing, and counting by 2, 5, 10, 20, 100, also simple geometry (a circle spun on an axis makes a sphere). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-child-goeswent-to-public-kindergarten#post-2734518 Thu, 11 May 2017 11:59:40 +0000 Freckles 2734518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What are/were they expected to know by the end of the year for math and language arts? </p>
