Tonight I went through 24 diagnostic writing assessments. Aren’t you jealous?! 😉
My question this week: Do you have an end-of-year writing assessment your students are mandated to take – either by your district or by your state?
Link up with me below or use the linky pics to jump from blog to blog and catch up on this week’s photographs and events! 🙂
We don't have any mandated writing assessment… it's kind of a blessing and a curse. I think we are all doing different assessments although there is a writing component to the reading test we all use as part of our reading program! Your assessment looks quiet intense!! Thanks for hosting!
Same here but 2nd grade. Sigh
Yes….jealous. That's what I was thinking…Our only mandated writing assessment is in the winter. Thanks for hosting!

Not very fancy in 1st
Our kinder writing assessment is more of a rubric we fill out. The kids don't have to produce a writing sample. We test them on everything it seems, though.
We do pre and post prompts of the three genres we teach in grade 3. I'm not in the least bit jealous of your scoring/grading session, but reading student writing is often hilarious. One time a student of mine wrote that he saw lions chasing a herd of "cantaloupe" across the African plains.
