Soooo….I always like to post fun and uplifting ideas for you and your kiddos! Well today my post is not fun and I am sorry for that! I have thought about this post for awhile and decided not to do it because no one wants to read about assessing, but then I realized from talking to others that some might need a more “manageable” way to track student success over the course of the year. Now, just know that anything and everything I mention can be edited in the freebie packet below! If you don’t teach to the Common Core you can change the standards assessed and criteria for your classroom.
Let me first show you what my document looks like! On the left column you will see the standard/concept listed along with a column for student names. Along the top you will see the four quarters broken down. There is also a spot for the date for each assessment data point. We do some district wide assessments that can be used for data points…you will be able to edit those out of the document if you do not! At the bottom of the document there is a description of the standard/concept along with a scoring system of a 1, 2, 3. If your school does {+} and {-} or any other system you can also change that to match!
You might like a spreadsheet for each quarter…my thing was I wanted LESS paper. I didn’t want to handle a bijillion papers when it came to grade card time. I could also easily see student progress for the year!
You will also notice in the spreadsheets that some quarters will be in gray …these are standards not being assessed for that quarter. You can “fill” those white if you need to assess!
There are also some tasks that I feel are a must for pencil and paper…I need to know that my students both identify and write their letters and numbers. Here is a look at that assessment.
So, do I have any magic tricks to get 100 data points per standard fours times a year? Yep, not really…but a way that I have found to help me track the data! I’m right there with ya! We can do this…. herd cats while getting data points!!! If you have any questions about the document or about your assessing please feel free to always email me at taradc87@hotmail.com
Thank you for sharing your wonderful expertise and materials. You help a lot of teachers!
Thank you!!! I love this!
Thank you! We use AIMSWeb for our letters and sounds benchmarks and progress monitoring and that's what our school looks at for progress. The K teachers do common core assessments once a quarter right before grade cards. Since we are departmentalized, it is very difficult to find time to do any 1-1 assessing. I will definitely be using the sheets you provided. I like that they are editable. 🙂
Thanks for sharing! This will perfectly fill the need I have for keeping track of my Kinders' progress. I've been thinking of creating something like these & now the hard part is done for me 🙂 I only have to customize it for my program. I can full relate to your post about it being difficult to fit in all the assessment we are supposed to do along with everything else we need to get done each day. These will definitely help me with this task! Thanks again:)
Oh wow! These are amazing to manage grades and notes! Thanks a million for sharing ♫
I like this post.
It is a great tracker.I will definitely be useful for sheets.You have indeed shared a very informative post. Thanks

Visualizing data with graphics can be more precise and revealing than conventional statistics. If you do not use statistical graphics, then you forfeit a deeper understanding of a dataset's structure. data collection procedure
It’s great! Thank you for sharing! This is new for me. I think I could use it for my kids
Number Writing Assessment sheet – what do the symbols mean? Or are they used to help the students keep track of where to write the numbers?
Thanks!
That is just a blank template for the kiddos to write their numbers! The symbols are there for them to find their spot. Instead of saying row one you’d say find the sun, etc 🙂
