4. Teacher Observations (During group time, small group learning centers, math and
literacy time)
Most of the four-year-old kindergarten curriculum in my classroom is designed to include hands
on activities in which specific skills are targeted to practice. During these purposefully thought
out and set up activities, I can monitor and observe the practice, as well as mastery of targeted
skills. Literacy skills are among the skills introduced, practiced, and mastered during a variety of
whole group and small group activities. Some activities are designed to be teacher lead, and
some are completed independently by the students. In each case, the teacher can observe, and
document literacy skills and use that information to guide further instruction.
