Some highlights of Anna's achievements are:Anna plays cooperatively with other children (meaning she engages with others in play that is meaningful and has a common purpose).
Anna's social interactions are frequently positive. She enjoys playing with others and understands positive social behaviors like "sharing" and "waiting your turn". Anna will also work cooperatively with others to complete a task such as building a tower or cleaning up.
Both Anna's fine and gross motor skills are right on track!
Anna has mastered self-help skills like hand-washing, pulling up underwear and pants, and putting on her jacket.
Anna has a great vocabulary and good diction.
Anna is able to communicate well about non-present situations (for example, telling a story about something that happened in the past.)
Anna follows two-step directions well, and is working on following multi-step directions.
Some things to work with Anna on are:
Finding her "assertive" voice. Like a lot of three-year-olds, Anna often uses a quiet, "whiny" voice to communicate wants and requests. Helping her find a voice that is loud enough to be heard and firm enough to be listened to is something we have been working on at school. A great way to encourage Anna to use an assertive tone is to model what the request would sound like in that tone and then have her repeat it back to you.
Following two- and three-step directions. One way we encourage following multi-step directions at school is listing the steps and having the children repeat them back. for example, "First put your coats in your cubbies, second sit down on a lilly pad... What do you do first?.. And then?".
Anna is truly a delight to have in class. Whether it be cruising the playground on her favorite bike or breaking out her dance moves to "Five Little Monkeys", she never fails to make me smile. You should be proud of your amazing little girl - God has blessed you with someone very special.
