In response to Mrs. Kallas blog.....

In this article Mrs. Kallas provided I learned about different ways to give a nontraditional assessment to students. I learned new techniques and ways to prove my students understanding without giving them the terrifying tests. Giving out a test may not always be the best for some kids because a numerous amount of students have testing anxieties such as myself! Something I think could be useful with my students is a gallery walk. The gallery walk assessment could be used in many different ways but as first graders its important for them to be able to see their improvements so posting their work and seeing their progress maybe a little more encouraging and they could learn something about themselves!
