This is the pre- and post-assessment I will be using for my kindergartners this year. It assesses cutting and gluing skills, student knowledge of shapes, and their coloring skills.

THE PLAN
Pre-Assessment:

(1)Give students shape sheet and have them cut out the 6 shapes and one line. Glue onto construction paper. Assess with cutting & gluing rubric.

(2)Do Hey Diddle Diddle Shape Cow project with students: http://www.thesmartteacher.com/exchange/resource/937/Hey-Diddle-Diddle-Shape-Cows. Assess with attached rubric.


Post-Assessment:
Day 1: Give students primary colored construction paper and a large piece of drawing paper. Instruct them to cut out various geometric shapes and build a playground.
Day 2: Using crayons, add background details.

Between the pre- and post-assessment projects, students are assesed in the rubrics based on the following:

1. Cutting & gluing skills
2. Shapes
3. Coloring craftsmanship
-neat coloring
-using appropriate colors
-coloring the entire paper


The use of shapes in kindergarten art projects connects to the common core math standards.

The Hey Diddle Diddle project connects with the NYS Common Core ELA Listening & Learning strands.

    I feel nervous about putting scissors in the hands of some students who have never even been in school before with class sizes of 30+. I have considered starting with hole punches, then crazy scissors (simply because they aren't at sharp), then safety scissors. Any suggestions on a smooth process/procedure for this?
