As for the getting to know you questions, I think that some of they would be great to use! I don’t know if I would use them for my student teaching because I will be coming in half way through the year. The students will already know each other, so I don’t think I’d send this home with them. We could play a short getting to know you game with those questions. For my student teaching, I will talk with the teacher I will be working with.
When I have my own classroom, I will definitely use a set of questions like the ones we looked at. Instead of learning about your students only through observations, I think a getting to know you sheet is a great way to get to know your students and how they learn in a much quicker. It looks a great way to find out about the background of your students. I especially liked the idea of taking the getting to know you papers to the students houses so that you can observe their home environment.
I also liked the content specific inventory. I think the inventory is a great way to introduce your students to a new subject in an interesting way. It is interesting to me, as a teacher, to see how much my students know, and it is interesting to a student to be able to see what they already know and what they’ll be learning!
The papers on the writing evaluation I think would be good for older grades when they’re doing writer’s workshop or some kind of self evaluation of their own or a peer’s writing.
There were quite a few different papers that looked as though they could be fun and/or helpful

It's good that you are looking at each inventory and judging its appropriateness (or not) for your student teaching classroom. Just remember that these are SAMPLES... possibilities. You must determine two different types of inventories to actually GIVE to your students during field. You can use any of these, with modifications to fit your situation, OR you find others, or make up your own. As long as you use them as PRE-ASSESSMENT to help you know what you should teach, and how... you'll be fine.
