She is a quiet and friendly member of our class but is frequently shy and guarded. As a result, Charlee has made a few close friends who she usually talks to and plays with. Charlee now enjoys working with peers in a small group and is able to share and cooperate, often thoughtfully listening to others. She enjoys any activities that involve creativity and imagination. She is a hands on learner and is an enthusiastic participant in play. Charlee’s fine motor skills are developing and she is able to use scissors to cut in a straight line, although she does rush through activities she has minimal interest in, sometimes causing a messy result. Charlee has made a fantastic start to kindergarten and I look forward to seeing her focus and independence grow in the coming semester. To assist Charlee’s learning at home, I suggest encouraging Charlee to 'have a go' at new

Michelle and I met the patient and his mother in his room and asked him if he would like to join us in the atrium where there was a special music event. At the initial meeting, I noticed that the patient was preschool aged and quite reserved. Michelle and I spent a significant amount of time with this patient in the atrium (approximately 1.75-2 hours). During the musical performance, Michelle provided the patient with drawing materials and jungle toys. The patient played with the toys and drew the scene that he created with the jungle toys, all the while listening to and moving to the music. This appeared to fit the function of play as flow because the patient was completely engrossed in his play, which seemed therapeutic/calming to him. After the musical performance, the patient wanted to create the art activity of the day, which was crafting Valentine’s Day arrows. Michelle and the patient’s mother told me that he preferred to do art activities on his own. This showed me that the patient wanted to have a sense of control over his play, which is a positive remark because oftentimes a developmental concern for preschool age patients is the fear of loss of control. I let the patient know that if he needed any help he could ask me but other than that I observed. The patient did ask me for help and re-did his artwork three times because he said he wanted it to be just right. When the

The String Toy is so old that its beginnings are unknown. It is also called either Thread Spinner or Whirling Button. Fortunately for us, that makes the toy quite easy to make. It is an ancient mechanical device used for ceremonial purposes and as a toy. It is an object in the middle of a cord and can be made to buzz by winding the cord while keeping the end stationary. The object moves by pulling and releasing the tension on the cord. The most common way that it was made was with a large button and some string.
