Assessing and documenting students learning in pre-k is such an important task. It is important for students to know what they are learning and what is expected of them. This can be done, even at such a young age but it has to be relevant and exciting to them. In my classroom, I developed a goals chart to track students progress. It is a simple 1-page goal chart of skills that many pre-k students master. I always like to keep these in take home folders as a great way to communicate with parents. They also work well in a data folder for students, or I have some teachers display them in the classroom. Throughout the year as I assess students and they master a goal, they color that box on this tracking sheet. Most skills that can be assessed also include a tracking form. (These letter name and letter sound tracking forms are included as a freebie at the end of this post) To use these, I sit with the student one on one to assess them. I use a different color pen each time I assess and circle the letters that a student is able to identify. I date it in the corner of that page with that color pen so when I look back at the paper or share it, I know the pace at which the individual student is learning that concept. Many of these forms also come with large cards that you can use to administer these assessments. If you chose to do data notebooks in your classroom or need documentation, these tracking tools work perfectly. You can simply print and bind and you have a resource that is perfect to share with students, parents at parents teacher conferences or as a data tracking resource. It includes tracking forms for many of the skills assessed, making it easy for teacher to administer and parents to understand what mastery looks like. You can find all of this included in my pre-k goals packet here: You can also find the free letter names and sound assessment here : This assessment is great to administer at the beginning of the year and send home to parents as well! I hope that you and your students enjoy using these resources in your classroom and you have a great beginning of the school year.

I love the beginning of the school year – all the fresh faces coming into the classroom just eager and ready to learn! I also love all of the fun learning games we play at the beginning of the year! Today, I’m going to share with you a freebie game that I found on Making Learning Fun. There are TONS of free resources on that site, so go on over and check it out! One of the freebies they had was this super fun crocodile game: I first saw this little fella last year, and told my husband we needed to switch our dishwasher detergent! It’s a cascade pouch container! (BTW, I LOVE these!) You can download everything you need from the Making Learning Fun website, but I wanted to spruce it up a little ;) So, here is my version: I used craft foam for the top and also wrapped it around the entire container. It was too hard to get off the Cascade label! I retyped the poem, and fancied up the alphabet cards. The game can be played in a large or small group. It is played like the classic game “bam.” Children reach in, pull out a letter card and say the letter or sound (or both!). If they have said the letter correctly, they place the card in the middle. I like to put it in the middle so it is a class effort, rather than an individual effort. If a child pulls out a snap card – all the children put out their arms (like an crocodile mouth) and say “snap! snap!” and all the cards go back inside. You can print off as many letter cards as you need if you need to focus on certain letter for kiddos. Just put the letter cards that those kiddos need to work on inside the crocodile. I love playing these fun games with kiddos! I’ve made up a bunch more whole group games like this if you would like to check them out! Just click the image below! Would you like to make the crocodile game for your class? You could either head on over to Making Learning Fun and download the simple game for yourself. Or download the fancier version here! Have fun!
