A Felt Board Story
Part One: Observation Notes
I chose to observe the little girl in the black shirt.
Speaks both English and Spanish
She’s creating her own story based upon the story her teacher
read to them.
She identifies all animals and objects in both languages
She’s translating from Spanish to English to her friend
Reenacting the story using the felt board is enhancing her
vocabulary as well as her friend’s
She’s making sure her friend knows the correct word for each
object
Part Two: Developmental Checklist
Receptive/Expressive Language Milestones and Skills
Understand categories food, clothes, and animals
Both girls being able to identify objects. Like when the little girl in the orange ask was the object in her hand was a truck
Takes two or more conversational
turns
One girl ask the other what’s the correct work for the felt piece in her hand
Uses language in symbolic, dramatic and cooperative play
Identifying the objects in both English and Spanish
Actively participates in conversations and social interactions with extended discourse
Both girls reenacting the story and creating their own version of the story
ASL: Adds handshapes and movement in a complex manner (finer & wrist dexerity increase)
They’re using their hands to place
the felt piece on the board
Ask and answer what and where questions?
The girls were asking each other what is this? Repeats a simple rhyme song, blessing or story
The girls were creating they’re own story based upon the story the teacher did with them. Using the same rhythm and rhyme just changing the words and objects.

While completing this observation I noticed that both girls are fluent in
Spanish. The young lady in the orange struggle with identifying some
objects in English. Whenever she’s stuck on an object her friend in the
black steps in gives her the correct word in English. This is the perfect
example of why it’s important for children to go to school early on. Kids
learn best while playing with other kids. This activity enhanced both
language and vocabulary, fine motor skills and hand eye coordination.
AS a teacher I would implement more sorting and matching activities
and encourage the children to partner up and match and sort together.
This activity would help the girl who struggles with stating what objects
are. She’ll state what’s on the picture in Spanish and her partner will
state what it is in English. In which would help her with her English. If I
wanted to assess what areas I need to focus on with the little girls, I
would complete quarterly ASQ’s. This along with the
receptive/expressive checklist. This will help me gage their progress and
visually see them surpass every milestone. Once I notice my girls
mastered the english language I would have them put on puppet shows
with their peers.
