Formative Assessment Analysis
My host classroom, is second grade classroom in a private school; my host classroom has a total of 23 students; 11 boys and 13 girls.

A lot of students used the pulling motion using their arms to describe …show more content…
For example, formative assessments provide students feedback about the learning subject. And also formative assessments are crucial in the learning process, because it gives knowledge to the educator about what each student needs in order to learn the topic. I also learned that collecting data through a formative assessment is a wonderful way to keep and record data of children learning process. After performing the formative assessments I have collected enough information to plan hands-activities for the students to be able to learn new vocabulary and knowledge about
