An Interesting Mix

I developed this preschool progress report to use with the Preschool Assessment I developed. I use this to show to the parents how their child is doing and let them take this home so they know what they need to work on with their child. This progress report was developed based on what they need to know to go to kindergarten and also the State Guidelines for Preschool.

This 5 page preschool assessment is designed to assess children on upper case and lower case letters, phonics, shapes, colors, mathematics and personal information. Use as an entrance and/or exit assessment, to prepare for conferences or identify areas where children are struggling.

This is a great activity to do with any grade. This is the COVER only for the book. In preschool, my older class makes a birthday book for each child on their birthday. They tell us what they would like to say to the birthday child and then we write it. The children then draw a picture for the birthday child. We put it all together in book form then as a keepsake.
