End of the Year Testing Printables

Yowsers.

So y'all... Can I just take a moment to tell you how BUSY my life has been for the past two weeks??? AYE-YI-YI!!!! Seriously, there has been nary a moment to fix my mascara much less log into Blogger as of late.  But, I am very pleased to announce the end of the madness because... let's face it- life without internet-laden free time is

HOR.EN.DOUS.

And that is why I am back.
Backety-back-back-back and oh-so-excited!

Well, wanna know what I've been up to while I've been gone?

I have been testing the willies out of nineteen of my favorite First Grade friends.  DIBELs, sight words, math, you name it, they've done it. And if they haven't done it, they probably should have. 

Of course having all of this testing to do, I was naturally faced with the age-old teaching dilemma of what to do with the nineteen students I wasn't testing while still managing to maintain a silent classroom for the one student I was testing.

Answer?
I used Cut and Paste friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  These little buddies occupy AND assess. 

TOTAL. BONUS.

 I use them to assess my Firsties knowledge of various components of language (syllables, parts of speech, etc.) while I get my testing done. Keeps the kids occupied, gives evidence of learning, and gives me a product to send home for parents to enjoy and admire (refridgerator work, anyone?) 

These buddies aren't much, but having TOTALLY saved my life in the past two weeks, I just knew I had to share them. (And don't mind my tacky Easter-themed syllable sort. What can I say? Giant chocolate-dispensing rabbits just gets me in the mood to decorate syllable sorts.)

OMG!!! I love you!! This is exactly what I needed today. I tried doing centers today while I tested two kids. It was a total flop. Not that we don't do this every single day. But you know how kids just know that you are busy and they can get away with more. I didn't want fluff easter art. This is a perfect review. Thank You!!!

Jennifer said...

I think you've just kept me sane! I've been DREADING DRA testing! Thanks for sharing! Lovin all your cute fonts too!

Katie P. said...

I love cut and paste activities! They are a good time-taker-upper except for one or two kids who always finish in like 2 minutes! But that's why I keep a tub of extra stuff for "When You're Done Early"! They love to dig into that tub!

Thanks for sharing these!

I love the compound word sheets! I am having trouble downloading them as well. It's asking me if the document still exists?

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm having trouble downloading the compound word activity. I would love to use this with my class. Can you help?

Unknown said...

Love all of these activities. Can't wait to use them with my class. The synonym pages wouldn't open though. It said that I needed permission. I would love to be able to use that page with my firsties. Thank you for making so many freebies available.

Unknown said...

I love the sheets you have. When I click on the sheet it says I do not have access to the page. I was trying to print your Homophone sheet.
