Infant /toddler observation Maritza Ayala Child development 111

Anecdotal record #1 Physical Development Date: Monday July 24, 2023 Time: 9:30am-10:00am General site: In a classroom with children the ages 8 months to a year old. The teacher created an art activity, she put a canvas in a gallon sized ziplock bag and filled the top of the canvas with paint. She had 4 children sitting at a table and placed the canvases in front of them. The children were patting, squishing, rubbing and throwing the canvas. Once the children were done the teacher opened up the ziplock bags and took out the canvases carefully and placed them out to dry. Interpretation: This observation connects well with the Physical Domain. The children used a lot of hand and eye coordination and moved the paint around on the canvases. General reaction: Observing the children as they use their senses to explore the canvas, ziplock bags and paint, was a nice experience. There was so much the children could do rather than just move around the paint with their hands. Seeing their masterpieces once it was all dried up was so adorable. Anecdotal records#2 social development Date: Wednesday July 26, 2023 Time: 11:00am-11:30am General site: The setting is in a classroom where it is focused on a little boy and a little girl. I've noticed how the little girl looks a bit shy and very quiet sitting on her own while the little boy next to her is very playful. Once the teacher sat down with both of the children they began to interact with the teacher playing blocks and cars on the floor. As the teacher repeated

saying “ 1,2,3 woah” while moving the toy car I noted that she was very playful and excited and the children did the same thing with the car and said “woah” very excitedly. Within those relations a new little girl came along and sat next to her to see the teacher playing with the toy car. The teacher walked away after playing with them for 5 minutes. The little girl continued to play with the little boy and girl while saying “woah” when moving and playing with the toy car. She even went around with the other kids to show her yellow car and show her teachers as well. Another social activity I’ve noticed is when she saw the teacher playing color blocks on a table with childrens around the table she went over and started socializing and playing with the color blocks with them. She was very interactive when playing with the color blocks with the teacher and the little kids. Interpretation: this is an example of social development skills since her behavior shows how she was shy at first sitting alone playing with the blocks by herself and then began to play with the other children once the teacher began playing with them creating that relationship. Which until that moment when the teacher started playing with her gave her the boost to interact with others around her. This shows how she slowly was able to develop and perceive herself as she was able to gain skills to communicate with others and process their actions. These skills have helped her participate in playing with others. For example, in chapter 11 where it focuses on how in social skills “ a child’s first teacher can play a major role in the development of social skill” (page 236). With this statement I agree because it helps childrens interact more with others and socialize better as they begin interacting more in the early stage. General reactions: in this video I’ve learned a lot about the children's development skills in how they respond socially. During this video I noticed how it can take time for each child to discover a lot about themselves and interact with people around them. I've understood it can

influence a child's self confidence and empathy since it develops the right set of social skills since it makes it easier for a child to socialize with others and also to make friends, as well as to share with their peers, and cooperate in social environments. Anecdotal records#3 Emotional development Date: Monday July 24, 2023 Time: 1:00pm- 1:30pm General site: My observation took place in an outdoor setting. The two children, who were three and four years old, were playing with building blocks outside on the table. The 4 year old grabbed the block that was next to the three year old. The three year old took the block from the four year old and yelled, “mine!” With an angry looking face. The teacher heard the commotion and asked, “what’s going on?” The three year old threw the block and ran away. Interpretation: This observation is an example of emotional development because the three year old had shown signs of anger and fear. Anger as the child took the block from the three year old. The three year old taking the block back and yelling, “mine!” with an angry looking face. Fear as the child ran when the teacher approached the table and asked, “what’s going on?” General reactions: Watching the children express their feelings was something interesting to see. Children express their feelings the same way as adults do. They use facial expressions and use their own words to communicate how they feel. Anecdotal Records #4 Cognitive development Date: Sunday, July 23, 2023 Time: 5:00pm -5:06pm

General site: As I’m watching the video about a 18 month old girl she shows an example of cognitive development skill as she is encountering cornstarch with her teacher. During the video I noticed the 18 month girl was very quiet when she came closer towards the green container that was half way filled with cornstarch. Within the 0-1 minute she was very hesitant to touch the cornstarch but moment after she started to feel the cornstarch between her fingers. Around the 3 minute mark the teacher shows her a pitcher with water and tells her to pour it inside the cornstarch. As she pours in the water she feels the different texture as she is playing around with her fingers. Around the four minute mark I noticed she felt the cornstarch that has water more than the cornstarch itself. I can tell she really likes the cornstarch with water because of the texture and she kept playing it. As her teacher began giving her the pitcher of water for the second time she quickly realized it's the water that makes the cornstarch feel that texture. She quickly pours in the water and gives the pitch back to her teacher and starts playing with the cornstarch with water. Interpretation : Her behavior was an example of chapter 6 the cognitive development since within this skill she was able to think how the cornstarch made a different texture when adding the water. Which shows the results of her figuring things out that it was the water that made it a different texture. In chapter 8 demonstrate "It is essential to recognize the importance of play to a young child and how it contributes to his or her cognitive development when observing children it is difficult to infer from their physical behaviors and play what they are thinking” (page.167). This is an example of her developing her cognitive development skills based on how she was able to think and gain information and giving her a curiosity when looking at the cornstarch.

General reactions: As I am able to watch this video this has shown me how children have curiosity that makes them think and react towards certain things. I am able to understand how a child is able to perceive, think and gain information on what is given to them. The cornstarch and the water was a great example to show her the curiosity of feeling the two textures separately. For example, as she first saw the cornstarch she was able to feel its natural texture before setting it with water. Within that she was able to think and react on how the texture is different when water is added.
