Overall Results:

Overall, Veronica was very successful in the both the math and ELA assessments. Through collecting the students work from our math
assessment, it became clear that she is fluent in writing the numbers 0-20. She did not use a visual aid or require help from the
paraprofessional. In ELA, Veronica is fluent with writing the letters in the alphabet and recognizing the sound each letter makes.

Action(s) to be taken:

Provide Veronica with more challenging work. She completed both of these assessments successfully. It is clear she is ready to move
onto the next stages of math and ELA.

Your own Reflection:

Through different forms of assessment I was able to understand where Veronica’s learning currently is and where we need to take it. I
used a teacher created assessment, observations and anecdotal notes to get the information I needed. I learned that Veronica is able
to write the numbers 0-20 completely on her own. This is a kindergarten standard that she has successfully accomplished that not
many of the other students have quite yet. This was an interesting assessment because I knew Veronica was able to identify numbers
up to 100 but I had never assessed if she could actually write them. I wonder if she is able to write numbers even above 20. Since
Veronica easily completed this assessment, we can move onto another standard and challenge her to progress her mathematical
skills. I also learned that Veronica is able to identify what letter of the alphabet makes what sound. Something I noticed and wrote in
my anecdotal notes is that while Veronica was doing the “write the letter that makes the sound” activity she needed to use the visual
aid alphabet sometimes to write the letter on the white board. This gave me the idea that she isn’t completely fluent with writing all
the letters in the alphabet quite yet. Therefore, we will continue to work with her and focus on letter writing. But, since Veronica does
know all her sounds we must challenge her even further. To do this, I think she is ready to begin blending CVC words.

Overall Results:

Overall, Yesenia was very successful in both areas of assessment. In math, she was able to verbally count to 120 by 1’s and 10’s and to
75 by 5’s. In ELA, she was able to fluently read aloud “Sam’s Pet”.

Action(s) to be taken:

In regards to math, we will continue to work with Yesenia on counting by 5’s because she needs more support with it. We will
incorporate more daily activities that really highlight and focus on this this skill. In ELA, we will provide Yesenia with more challenging
books since she was fluent with the current one. We want her skills to progress and not plateau therefore we must give her books
that allow her to struggle a little bit but not to the point where she is too frustrated.

Your own Reflection:

Through doing these assessments, I realized that video recording is personally a very effective way to assess children’s reading. It
allowed me to be in the moment with the student and actually listen to her instead of worrying about writing things down. The video
recording allowed me to go back and listen multiple times and thoroughly analyze Yesenia’s reading. These assessments also
provided me with useful insight into my case study child’s knowledge. I noticed that Yesenia decided not to use the 120’s chart while
counting. This made me realize that she can fluently count to 120 by 1’s and 10’s but not 5’s. Therefore in the future I can support her
learning with counting by 5’s by having her use the 120’s chart and discuss the pattern visually. This could help her become more
fluent when counting by 5’s. Through the math assessment, I believe that Yesenia is ready to begin adding and subtracting within 20.
She is very fluent with counting therefore I think she will be able to understand these concepts. Through the ELA assessments, I
realized how high my student’s reading level and fluency is. This will guide my instruction in the future. She is ready for more difficult
level books. I also realized that Yesenia reads extremely fast. Therefore she makes mistakes that I believe she wouldn’t if she would
just slow down a little. I think she was reading that fast because the book was too easy for her. I think if she had a more challenging
book she would slow down and truly focus on what she is reading.

Overall Results:

Overall, Veronica was successful in both her areas of assessment this week. She was able to write the numbers 0-20 when being
verbally prompted. Veronica is also able to identify all the uppercase and lowercase letters and their sounds.

Action(s) to be taken:

Provide Veronica with more challenging work. She completed both of these assessments successfully. It is clear she is ready to move
onto the next stages of math and ELA. In math, I believe she can begin adding and subtracting within in 5 and possibly 10. In ELA, I
think she is ready to begin blending CVC words.

Your own Reflection:

Veronica is my student that has an IEP. Her IEP focuses on her social emotional and language development. Even though Veronica is
on an IEP she is one of the more advanced kindergarten students academically. Although it can be a struggle to get her to participate
in some of the assessments, when she finally comes around we are able to see her full potential. When I first began in the classroom, I
had no idea Veronica’s academic abilities because she would never want to participate in class. But, no that she has become more
comfortable and adapted to the classroom I have learned so much about her academic strengths.

Overall Results:

In regards to mathematics, Yesenia was successful in writing numbers up 120 counting by 5’s and 10’s. In regards to ELA, Yesenia is
making progress with her sight words but she is not yet fluent. She correctly identified 45 out of 100 sight words of a predetermined
list.

Action(s) to be taken:

In mathematics, Yesenia is fluent with counting by 5’s and 10’s to 120. Therefore she is ready to apply this knowledge to broader
mathematic concepts. For example counting a large number of objects (counting collections). In counting collections she would be
provided with a large number of objects and she would group them by 5’s or 10’s to make counting them easier. In ELA, Yesenia is not
quite fluent with her sight words yet. Therefore the actions to be taken are to continue exposing her to sight words in a variety of
ways and practicing them with her. We can do this by creating activities focusing on sight words for our ELA centers, reading books
with sight words she’s struggling with, etc.

Your own Reflection:

Using the homework work sample as an assessment provided me with valuable information but it also left me with some questions.
Since I was not physically there to see how she completed her assignment I am unsure if she needed to reference the 120’s chart or if
she was able to write her numbers from memory. I also don’t know if she completed this assignment on her own or she was provided
help by a guardian. Therefore in the future I will use assessments within the classroom setting that I can monitor and get an overall
understanding of my student’s knowledge. After two weeks of assessing Yesenia’s ability to count by 5’s and 10’s I have realized that
this concept is coming easy to her and she is ready to build upon that knowledge and begin more challenging mathematics work.

Overall Results:

Overall, Veronica was successful in both her areas of assessment this week. She was able to write the numbers 1-20 when labeling a certain
number of objects. She did not need a visual aid to help her form the numbers. Veronica was also able to identify all the lowercase letters and
their sounds. She was quick with her letter recognition which shows she is becoming more fluent.
Action(s) to be taken:

Veronica is becoming more fluent with her letter recognition and sounds. Therefore we will begin to work on blending CVC words. I believe
this will provide Veronica with a challenge but I think she is ready to move onto this step in reading. In mathematics, Veronica can begin using
strategies to represent her mathematical ideas on paper. Since she is able to write the numbers 0-20 she can effectively represent her
thinking. For example, she can use number bonds to represent her addition and subtraction because she knows how to write numbers
symbolically.

Your own Reflection:

Veronica has made major strides in ELA since the beginning of the year. She began the year knowing some letter names and sounds but now
she knows all of them for both uppercase and lowercase letters. She has become more fluent in recognizing letters and their sounds, it’s
almost automatic now. In mathematics, Veronica has also come a long way since the beginning of the year. Some of her numbers used to be
reversed but she has since corrected this and can write numbers 0-20 correctly. This has been a big focus for our kindergarteners because in
first grade students are expected to show their mathematical knowledge by writing what they know on worksheets, tests, etc. Therefore
Veronica will now be prepared to show her work with the teacher begin able to comprehend it.

Overall Results:

In regards to mathematics, Yesenia was successful in using the strategy of counting by 10 to count a large number of objects. This week we
didn’t have a chance to focus on counting by 5’s therefore I do not have data for that. In regards to ELA, Yesenia is continuously making
progress. She is becoming a much more fluent reader and more accurate. She only missed 5 words out of the 85 attempted which is 94%
accuracy.

Action(s) to be taken:

In mathematics, Yesenia has mastered the concept of counting by 10 to 120. Therefore she is ready to use this knowledge for broader math
concepts. Such as creating groups of 10 to count objects. In ELA, Yesenia needs to continue being exposed to print to expand her knowledge of
vocabulary words, sight words, and grammatical rules. Yesenia is able to fluently blend “typical” words therefore she needs to be exposed to
words that cannot be sounded out so she can find other strategies of how to read.

Your own Reflection:

It was interesting to give the curriculum based assessment for ELA. I thoroughly remember taking these as a young student and I how I felt
during them. My main focus was always to read as fast as I could so I could get as many words as possible. It seemed that this is was Yesenia
was doing as well. She was reading extremely quickly which caused her to make a few errors that I don’t believe she would have made
otherwise. I wanted ask her to slow down but I couldn’t because the main aspect of this assessment is testing speed. Therefore it made me
really think about how accurate this assessment is. Although it provided me with some useful information, I don’t think it showcased her best
abilities. What does 85 words out of 120 in 60 seconds TRULY tell me? I believe assessments where children are comfortable and confident in
what they are doing provide the most useful information for teachers.
