Toddlers Unlimited Anecdotal Reports

Can't believe how fast time flies. School will end in March 26 and Elle Marie has few days left with her classmates and teachers. I kept on saying that i will document Elle's progress in Toddlers Unlimited but did not have time to actually do it. Would not want the school to end without documenting and reviewing Elle's progress. Hence, I dedicate this entry just for Toddlers Unlimited Anecdotal Reports on Elle...

Elle is independent in the classroom. As soon as she enters, she chooses what she wants to play with. She usually goes to the manipulatives area first. She likes to play with the pegboard and animal puzzles

*Yes, Elle Marie is so independent that the moment she enters the room she totally forgets about me. It is like she wants her space from me and the yellow room is her own personal space away from me. I like the idea that Elle has developed to be an independent girl. She needs it in order to survive life's challenges. Noy and I will not be here for her forever. I am so proud of my daughter.

Elle Marie is starting to do puzzles on her own. She chooses a puzzle from the manipulatives shelf and brings it to the table. She then removes each piece. She still needs encouraging in returning the pieces to its right place.

*I recently bought Elle a number puzzle and she loves playing with it. She would remove each piece and she make her own puzzle at the back of the board!! Funny but as they say, let them be. Kids at times have their own way of playing that adults can never understand. For now, what is important for me is that Elle knows how to count.

Elle Marie seemed to enjoy the activities we presented her on the colors - red and orange! She tried everything from tasting apple sauce, pasting different shades of orange paper, washing apples during apple play and mixing red and yellow food coloring to make orange.

*Just this morning while taking a bath, I asked Elle about the colors of her balls. She said yellow, orange, red, blue! to the green ball and green to the blue ball! Haha but it's a good start to learn the colors.

Elle Marie still needs some encouragement from teacher to say what she wants. Although she is starting to say some words already, teacher still has to remind her to use her words instead of hand gestures.

*I am just so proud of my daughter. After this anecdotal report, I saw to it that I stimulate her to talk at home and now she is improving.
