I looked through the form area and can't find what I'm looking for and may need to make my own up as I can't find anything on the computer either.
Looking for a form to have parents to fill out the beginning of the school year (even though I have kiddo's all year) with what their child knows/can do.
Like:
Can they cut using scissors
Do they hold a pencil/marker/crayon with traditional pencil grip
Have they used glue before
Etc.
Anyone have a form like this or know where I can find one?

Don't you do assessments upon enrollment? I looked through the form area and can't find what I'm looking for and may need to make my own up as I can't find anything on the computer either.

I do an assessment on each new child upon enrollment so I can set realistic goals for progress through out the year.
Any information a parent provides always seems to be "off" in comparison to what the child really CAN do. kwim?
I've had parents tell me their child can read/write and speak in complete sentences but at daycare, they can barely utter their names in an audible form.

I don't because parents do NOT accurately represent their children.
I make my own observations and move on from there.

Here's one free. http://www.getreadytoread.org/images..._checklist.pdf
I do my usual Ages and Stages as well. I like this one because it engages the parents.
It is letting them know what will be expected. I like to have them fill one out too, then compare it to my own. It is often entertaining and let's me know what I am up against.

Parent: No
Actuality: Has been able to for the past year
Yet at the same time..
Does child know his colors?
Parent: yes!
Actuality: Only if everything is blue...
:P
