My favorite assessment in kindergarten is an artistic one. In September I gave the class step by step instructions regarding the observation and detail of self portraits. In May, I repeat these instructions once more. The change is so phenomenally obvious.
Hilario noticed how much he has learned when he stated, " We didn't even know we had ears in September Mrs. K!"
Shape, line, color and detail are suddenly included at the end of the kindergarten year. It might seem like I am boasting, but your kids are the ones that have done all the work. Their motivation, ingenuity and determination can be seen in these transformations from a mile away.
I plan to protect these masterpieces in the next few days before they are sent home. If you do not want your child's artwork laminated please let me know ASAP.
