Many times when remembering the education we had, good and bad moments come up, and among them, assessment experiences, some gratifying and others disappointing and even humiliating. Reviewing evaluation in the school system, we see that it has been used to privilege a way of being and even to define a model student, manufacturing hierarchies (Perrenoud 2010). This has produced effects in the lives of people and initial education has not been exempt from it. In this text, we will refer to evaluation that is carried out in the classroom or some non-conventional systems, but at a micro level. That is focused on learning of the youngest children of six years. We, therefore, invite the reader to review the pedagogical practices and give greater importance to stop, observe and learn from children and their ways of relating and learning, without showing an ideal fixed model. We will address the importance of an open observation, where the educator, in addition to considering learning objectives a priori, may acknowledge others to emerge, after the observation of the children, all of this if it has an openness and can look without "lenses" that cloud his view.
