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. This

tool can provide insights into various domains of development, including communication, gross and fine motor skills, problem-solving, and personal-social skills. Part Two - Activity Plans At-Home Learning Activity Plan: Activity: Sensory Bin Exploration Instructions for Families: 1. Create a sensory bin with materials like rice, beans, and small toys at home. 2. Encourage Sofia to explore the textures, pick up small objects, and sort them. 3. Use descriptive words to discuss the sensory experiences (soft, crunchy, smooth). 4. Incorporate family members in the activity to enhance social interactions. 5. Share photos or short videos with the teacher to document Sofia's engagement. Milestones and Early Learning Standards: - Fine Motor Skills: Picking up small objects promotes hand-eye coordination. - Language Development: Describing sensory experiences enhances vocabulary. In-Program Activity Plan: Activity: Collaborative Art Project Instructions for Teachers 1. Set up a collaborative art space with various materials like clay, paint, and paper. 2. Encourage group participation, allowing Sofia to observe and interact with peers. 3. Use open-ended questions to prompt communication and sharing of ideas. 4. Guide Sofia in creating her own art piece while facilitating interactions with peers. 5. Reflect on the collaborative project, emphasizing teamwork and individual creativity. Milestones and Early Learning Standards: - Social Skills: Collaborating on a group project fosters social interactions. - Language Development: Open-ended questions stimulate communication. Cycle of Knowledge in Activity Planning: 1. Observation: The initial observation of Sofia's engagement with clay provided insights into her interests, strengths, and potential areas for development. 2. Assessment: Anecdotal notes helped in assessing Sofia's fine motor skills, sensory exploration, and social interactions.
