Summary (30 points): After having observed the child and read the course material, provide a brief summary of the child’s development in this domain. Highlight the child’s strengths and identify any areas of weakness or concern you noticed. Your summary should be concise – limited to 1-2 paragraphs – but should still provide a detailed picture of the child’s development in this one domain. Please do not include observations or notes about other domains, as they will be included in later observation worksheets. Work hard to summarize the information by choosing only the most important points based upon developmental theory. Just about everything you learned may be interesting – however you want to include the details which paint a picture of the child’s development in this specific developmental domain. To receive full credit, you must do all of the following: 1. Include correct grammar, punctuation and spelling 2. Structure your summary and analysis in a logical order 3. Include accurate facts, and document them according to APA standards 4. Conclude with a brief summary The observation in this domain focuses on Gross motor skills. While observing, I noticed the child is taller than most of his peers and a little bit larger than most of his peers. When the child climbs over other individuals, the child is very careful of his foot placement and puts both hands out for balance. Sometimes, it doesn’t work out so well, the child misjudged the distance and toppled over. Balance is something that may need a little more work. During the observations the child is also able to easily jump, run, and climb on the outdoor equipment such as the stairs leading up to the slide and jump down from the tree house and land almost on both feet. I have observed the child racing with other children and easily dodging obstacles in the way. In the classroom during small group instruction, I have noticed difficulty writing with multiple items such as crayons, pens, pencils, and markers. I noticed no difficulty while eating using a fork or spoon. Also, the child did not require any assistance while opening plastic utensils or opening a carton of milk, but did have difficulty unbuttoning the pants. One of the child’s favorite centers is the block center and I observed no trouble with stacking blocks together or connecting Legos. In the housekeeping/dramatic play center, I also noticed no trouble undressing dolls or putting on clothes and shoes. The teacher worked with the child using play dough and lots of writing activities.
