Spider Assessment Reasoning

I currently work with GA Pre-K in a local day care so I chose something that I could very well use in my classroom this year. Later in the school term, I will be using the theme of spiders or bugs. Since it is a pre-kindergarten class, the regular pencil and paper tests do not exist, so I had to become creative.

I had to use more completion items, then trying to do a true-false, multiple choice or traditional matching questions as the ability of a pre-kindergarten student is that they can either do something or they can't for the most part. Even asking questions can sometimes be a tricky thing with Pre-Kindergarten students.

The essay question was a little tricky in that pre-kindergarten students do not know how to traditionally write, but they can dictate to a teacher. The question I chose is fairly easy for them to dictate and they can even draw the main parts of the essay.
