These short videos give you a quick look at the resource.
The Preschool Vibes Assessment System V2 was created for real preschool classrooms where assessment needs to be useful, manageable, and connected to instruction.
Instead of trying to assess every possible standard or collect endless documentation, this system focuses on practical information you can actually use. It helps you quickly see where each child is starting, what skills are emerging, and what goals make sense next.
This system is not meant to be a mastery checklist, grading system, or replacement for any required state, district, or curriculum assessment. It is designed to help you collect meaningful baseline data, track growth across the year, and make instructional decisions that support each child’s next steps.
This system includes 5 resources that work together as one complete assessment system:
A guide for understanding the full system, assessment philosophy, workflow, goal setting, small groups, and parent communication.
Assessment pages for gathering baseline information and tracking student growth.
This resource also includes additional assessment pages for expanded number options, alternate layouts, and quarter tracking.
A Google Slides checklist for recording assessment data across fall, winter, and spring.
Individual growth goal sheet, class growth goals chart, and student transition form for turning assessment data into goals, small groups, and end-of-year transition notes.
Mid-year progress check-in pages for parent communication.
The Preschool Vibes Assessment V2, Preschool Growth Goals, and Mid-Year Assessment Check-In include editable Canva Pro links inside the PDFs.
The Preschool Vibes Assessment Checklist is editable in Google Slides.
The Assessment Teacher’s Guide is a non-editable PDF.
The additional assessment pages are included for programs that need a slightly different setup. These pages give you extra options for expanded number tracking, alternate layouts, and quarter-based assessment tracking so you can pull in the pages that work best for your program.
Start by using the Preschool Vibes Assessment pages to assess students one-on-one.
The assessment covers foundational preschool skills such as colors, shapes, numbers, counting, uppercase and lowercase letters, letter sounds, name writing, pencil grasp, self-portrait development, and social-emotional skills.
Record student data on the Preschool Vibes Assessment Checklist so you can track fall, winter, and spring growth in one organized place.
After completing the assessment, choose 2-3 meaningful growth goals for each child. These goals should focus on the most appropriate next steps, starting with foundational skills before moving into more advanced skills.
Use the Individual Growth Goals sheet for parent communication and the Class Growth Goals Chart to organize students with similar goals into quick, intentional small groups.
After the second assessment window, use the Mid-Year Assessment Check-In to give families a clear snapshot of progress.
At the end of the year, use the Student Transition Form to summarize final assessment information, strengths, areas still developing, and helpful notes for the next classroom or kindergarten team.
Preschool Vibes Assessment System V2 keeps assessment realistic, useful, and connected to what teachers actually need.
This system helps:
Collect quick baseline data without overwhelming students
Track growth across the year in an organized way
Turn assessment results into meaningful individual goals
Make small group planning faster and easier
Give families clear progress updates without too much information at once
Support mid-year communication
Provide end-of-year transition documentation
Support growth-based assessment instead of grades or mastery pressure
Keep assessment connected instead of using disconnected forms
Help teachers make instructional decisions based on each child’s next steps

Meet the Letters is a teacher-held letter introduction resource for letters A-Z. Each letter includes a student-facing visual page and a teacher prompt page to support letter recognition, letter sounds, letter formation, movement, name connections, and noticing letters in the world around them.

Write On: Your Name Writing Toolkit gives you a clear, flexible way to teach one of the most meaningful early writing skills: a child’s own name.
Instead of jumping straight to independent name writing, this toolkit gives children practice with the individual letters in their name, letter formation, tracing, the important first letter, and eventually the full name.
The editable Canva Pro templates allow you to personalize the practice pages for individual students, while the ready-to-print options give you flexibility when you do not need customization.
Use the toolkit during small group instruction, writing centers, name practice, morning work, beginning-of-the-year activities, or individual practice. The included parent letter also makes it easy to connect classroom name-writing practice with home.
This resource includes:
Capital and lowercase letter formation sheets
Two styles of capital letter tracing sheets
Two styles of lowercase letter tracing sheets
First-letter practice sheets
Full-name practice sheets
Example and tips for using the toolkit
Parent letter for supporting name writing at home
Editable Canva Pro templates for personalization
Ready-to-print templates for teachers who do not need to customize the pages
Start with the letter formation sheets to introduce or review the letters a child needs for their name.
Use the tracing pages for additional practice with individual letter shapes and formation.
Give extra attention to the first letter of the child’s name before moving into full-name writing practice.
As children become more confident, gradually move from tracing and guided practice toward writing their names more independently.
Use the editable Canva Pro templates to personalize name-writing pages for individual students. You can create the pages your class needs and adjust them as children progress.
The parent letter can be sent home to help families understand how to support the same name-writing practice outside of school.
Children are highly motivated by their own names, making name writing a meaningful place to build early handwriting skills.
Write On: Your Name Writing Toolkit allows children to move through name writing in manageable steps instead of expecting them to copy or write an entire name before they are ready.
This resource helps:
Build recognition of the letters in each child’s name
Support capital and lowercase letter formation
Give children repeated tracing and writing practice
Provide focused practice with the first letter of the name
Support the progression from tracing to independent name writing
Make writing practice personal and meaningful
Give teachers flexible options for different skill levels
Support consistency between classroom and home practice
