Social/Emotional Development
Throughout the year we have observed Noel's developing skills in the area of cooperative play. Noel loves his friends in the class and seeks out opportunities throughout the day to engage in play with his classmates. He is learning to take turns, appreciate another child's point of view and work collaboratively in areas of play, such as the magna tiles and block area. During snack Noel joined a few children on the rug who were listening to a story and was delighted to be part of the group. He recognized that his friend Trace had chosen a book to read and although he had an interest in reading a different book, he said "When you are done reading your book, can you read this one too?" This was a wonderful example of Noel's ability to accept the existing 'structure' of a situation and to adapt himself accordingly.
At Choice Time, Noel loved working with his friends creating our class Trufulla Garden. Noel truly enjoys class activities that reflect the spirit of our community. His enthusiasm is contagious and he is developing social skills through the many collaborative activities that occur in our classroom everyday.
