Teaching the Parents!

Developing skills in kindergarten is a lot of work. Parents really can do these things with their kids at home, but often just don't spend time with them on writing, cutting or even coloring. Part of my goal with the assessment for kindergarten students is in art class is to inform parents what their child should be able to do at the end of kindergarten and things they can work on at home to improve skills.
I give students their tasks, which usually has a tracing and cutting job, and then when I use the checklist attached, parents can easily see what skills are secure and what needs more practice. Also included is a list of activities that they can work on at home. I hope that parents will make greater effort to work with their children if they know what things they can do that will help.
