First full assessment completed!

Yesterday I started on the assessment of a cute little 4th grade boy who has very limited English acquisition (pretty much a CELDT level 1 across all sections!). He was referred for assessment at the end of the last school year because he failed to respond to the Tier III reading intervention he was in. The kiddo got 30 weeks of intervention (4x per week for 30 minutes) and he actually became a slower reader! Poor kid. So, he was chosen to be my first assessment. Lemme tell ya, it has been a pretty unnerving couple of days for me! Yesterday I complied all his data from last year's interventions, gave him a survey level reading fluency test and administered the PAT2. I didn't have any problems with that, but my supervisor kept quizzing me about different components of reading and my brain would NOT work. (to explain: this is not my typical, but my hubby's grandpa, whom I was very close to, just died suddenly and I can't take time off because of my contract has given me very few days to take off, so I am just gonna try my best to get through) So I just owned up and gave a IDK to his questioning and felt like a big dummy. He was nice about it, but I proceeded to beat myself up over it for the rest of the day and came home an incredibly grumpy girl.

Today I finished up his assessment/observation. Gave him 6 subtests of the Woodcock Johnson III - Achievement test which I have only given once before and that was over a year ago. So needless to say I screwed up. Totally missed that there is a basal on the math calculation subtest and I didn't notice that the kid spelled a word wrong on the spelling test because I was looking upside down so I didn't really get a basal on him either. :( THEN I messed up the TOWRE! When you only have 45 seconds for an assessment it is easy to get off track (especially when you are testing an ELL mumbler!) and I couldn't find my way back. But even in all that, my crazy nice supervisor some how made all of my mistakes go away. After that I did an time-on task observation of the kiddo in the classroom. That, thankfully, I didn't mess that up! I was able to then sit down and put the report together. My supervisor read over it at the end of the day and was surprised to see it finished. He gave me a "I'm very impressed with your work." and I felt like jumping up and down. Finally got something right! I really hope this gets easier!!
