Last week we went back to the elementary school and the kids were working on Easter projects since it was the last day they would be at school before the holiday break. They made bunny puppets out of paper bags and paper cut outs of a bunny head. They colored the heads and then glued them onto the bag and put a cotton ball on the back of the bag to be the bunny's tail. They had a lot of fun with this activity and were excited to show me how colorful they could make the bunny and how original theirs was. Each kids bunny was completely different and expressed that kid indivually. You could tell who made each bunny by the time and care they put into making the bunnies.
Alternative Assessment: In the classroom at Westwood, the teacher uses many different varieties to test the children and assess how much they have learned about certain objectives and lessons. One example was when the teacher has the students get a dry erase board and sit with her at the table. She then reads a book to them and word by word they have to write out the words or phonic sounds they hear, depending on the lesson. She works with each student individually like this to assess how they are grasping the lesson or words of this subject.
