Why Baseline Assessments Are Important

~Get an idea of where your students are academically from the very start of the year

~Craft instruction & small groups based on the results

~Have clear results that identify strengths and weaknesses of each individual

~Track growth throughout the year

~Progress monitor for students with IEP’s or special needs

~Provide straight forward data to be used in parent-teacher conferences and IEP meetings

~Help prepare report cards and give specific information about each student’s needs in the comments

• Falling Leaves: Children practice uppercase letter identification and matching with this activity
• Haunted House: Children practice lowercase letter identification and matching with this activity
• Pumpkin Patch: Children practice recognizing real life objects as 2D shapes and sorting them appropriately. Shapes include triangles, circles, squares and rectangles
• Acorn, Acorn: Children practice identifying and matching with numbers 1-10
• Turkey Ten Frames: Children practice counting objects to 10 through the use of ten frames. They duplicate the ten frame on their own large boards

Sensory bins provide children with an opportunity to stimulate one or more senses at a time. By combining this experience with an academic piece you are helping to engage students and create a wonderful learning experience. Fill your bins with anything and everything! I like to get my tactile items from the dollar store and my own crafting closet. This download includes suggestions for fillers and tools to use.
