Jessica Cameron Rasmussen University Observation and Assessment in Early Childhood Education Jennifer Cruz 02/04/2024
Part One: Observations and Notes Video: "Social Clay" Observation Method: Anecdotal Notes Child Observed: Sofia (15 months) Setting: Classroom (activity with clay) Observer: Jessica Cameron Observation Notes for Sofia (15-month-old): Sofia is actively engaged in a clay activity at a large table with her teacher. She demonstrates fine motor skills by stuffing clay into a spoon and digging it out with her fingers. Interaction with peers includes a small conflict over the clay, prompting teacher intervention. Sofia attempts tasting the clay, showing curiosity about sensory experiences. Communication involves vocalizations but appears limited. Teachers actively facilitate the activity and encourage communication. Module(s) Used: Early Childhood Development Developmentally Appropriate Goals: 1. Fine Motor Skills Development: Given Sofia's active engagement in the clay activity and her adept use of fine motor skills, a developmental goal could be to further enhance her fine motor skills. Activities such as finger painting, tearing paper, or using small manipulative toys can be incorporated to strengthen her hand-eye coordination and dexterity. 2. Language and Social Skills Enhancement: Recognizing Sofia's limited vocal communication and minimal interaction with peers, a goal can be established to foster language and social skills. Engaging her in group activities, encouraging participation, and facilitating interactions with peers can contribute to her language development and help build social connections. Additional Assessment Method: To gain a more comprehensive understanding of Sofia's complete development, incorporating a developmental screening tool, such as Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ), would be beneficial.
