Self-Assessment in Kindergarten

Today, I gave my first Self-Assessment to my Kindergarteners! My phonics group is working on digraphs, so we talked about what they know, and what they still need to learn. (See below)

They all were concentrating so hard to really see if they knew it. On the first section with telling if they know what sound each digraph makes, they said the letters, gave the sound and motion for each sound, and colored in the smiley face. One little guy was concentrating extra hard, and said, "s-h, man, I always confuse that one!" - he then colored the straight face! Another student had indicated that he sometimes had a hard time reading words with digraphs, and when we were done with our phonics lesson (focusing on 'sh' and reading words with digraphs), he said, "Boy, I am actually pretty good at reading these words!" 

They were so honest with themselves, and learned much more about what they were learning and how they were learning it!
