For a few days in November, I will be out of the classroom administering EYE (Early Years Evaluation) to the four year olds in both Pre K classes. EYE is an Assesment that the Ministery of Education requires teachers to give to all four year olds in Pre K. Children are tested in a quiet area away from the classroom for 45 minutes per child. As there are 16 children that the Ministery requires that I test this year, it will take a few days to test and I will be out of the classroom for a few mornings. Mrs. W will be in the room, and a substitute teacher has been hired to be in the room during this time also.
The EYE assesses the children's development in several areas:
Awareness of Self and Environment
Gross Motor
Cognitive Skills
Language and Communication
Fine Motor Skills
After the assessment is done, we will have a "snapshot" of how the children are doing in these areas.
I look forward to discussing how your child is doing at the Parent/Teacher Interviews in November.
