Just like the cartoon above... We teach, but how do we KNOW they "get it"? Well, WE ASSESS!! The most useful way for a teacher to "know" is by giving mini-assessments along the way. I like giving 1 pre-test, mini test 1, mini test 2, mini test 3, then a post-test. This is usually how I evaluate students and graph data.
Short, but frequent, mini-assessments are less time consuming and allow teachers to see a "snap-shot" along the way.
The three of us (Kathi, Stephany, and I) have created several mini-assessments to help evaluate students. We have also correlated each assessment to Common Core standards.
The Common Core standards can be found here. They are organized by grade level and subject area. You can also download the standards in a pdf file.
Kindergarten
I have created mini-assessments for several of the Common Core Standards. Here are some free downloads for kindergarten.I also have a several kindergarten mini-assessments for purchase. They are listed here.

I have bought 2 common core assessment packets but I am trying to collect more so I have more than one opportunity. Love your idea of 3 mini assessments. Thanks for the freebies! I will check out the others!

These look awesome! I'd love to win. I teach 2nd grade and our district started implementing a standards based report card a few years ago. These would fit in perfect for me.
