During class this week we had a focus on assessment and how it looks through classrooms, as we got to watch many videos pertaining to assessment as well as what not to do. We also got together with our circle time groups and discussed the last chapters of the textbook. I enjoyed the videos we watched as it gave a really good idea about how certain tools (like 2 Stars and 1 Wish) work in actual classrooms instead of theory, and I also liked how real the teachers were about how certain classroom assessment structures worked for them. Throughout the class, we did group activities like the fishbone organization and reading assessment and I liked both. I particularly liked the reading assessment activity as it showed how on the ball teachers have to be with assessment as we may not be able to physically record everything our students do so I feel like this activity was good for showing us to keep it simple and to make sure we are paying attention to assessment behaviours.
