Kindergarten Assessment

This afternoon we took Taylor into her assessment with her teacher. All the children in the class get 15 minutes of 1:1 time with the teacher so she can see what they know, what they don't know and how to best to teach each child. Taylor did VERY well in her assessment, a few things she missed were pretty much nerves. She spelled her name (but missed the "o" even though she's spelled it correctly 100 times). The teacher had her stop counting at 31 (she only missed #16 which she has a tendency to do ... not sure what she has against #16). She knew all her uppercase letters, but skipped a few of the lower case letters. She recognized numbers 1-12, she knew all her colors and shapes. Overall the teacher said she is right where she needs to be and in a few cases knows more than some of the other kids in the class. She also said Taylor was a pleasure to have in the class, very well behaved and always willing to help. Courtney and I are VERY proud of how well she did! We've always know she was smart, but sometimes it's nice to have independent validation. =O)
