U.P. CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER Diliman, Quezon City ISABELO A. E .P. v GC 4 years and 7 months as of June 2u13 4's & 5's Class NARRATIVE REPORT Semester, AY- The very lively and observant Sabien always seems to catch the attention of visitors and teachers alike. He blends in well with anyone around, often answering questions and replying when spoken to. Sabien is physically active and adept both in the classroom and out on the playground. He engages in different play activities by himself and with classmates. Sabien is especially at home in Outdoor Play, where he frequently plays running zombie and monster games with classmates, around the grounds and even up playground equipment. He recently tried climbing up the Jungle Gym in the Big Playground, but later asked to be caried down. He plays football with classmates and also digs in the sand. He independently does the actions to many class songs. With regard to fine motor skills, Sabien can use many different writing and drawing implements in the classroom. He copies upper and lowercase lettering, as evident in class routines and activities. However, more practice in this area is still advisable, especially in writing along pad paper lines. He can also draw human figures through a combination of sticks and shapes. Coloring too is familiar temitory for Sabien, as he colors pictures with the use of crayons and oil pastel. He may be further encouraged to try coloring in regular strokes as well as in coloring within lines. Sabien is equally competent in the self-help domain, as he is capable of doing many of the tasks with minimal assistance from adults. He can brush his teeth, pack his own things, dress and undress himself, and can even fasten and unfasten snap-on and regular buttons on his pants and shirt, although this may be, at times, accompanied by further encouragement from the teacher. Sabien demonstrates a variety of socio-emotional skills. He usually starts Workplay doing his own activity, such as assembling table blocks or puzzle in the Math and Science Area. He sometimes plays this beside classmates using the same toys, speaks a few words to thenm, but seldom interacts to create cooperative works. He allows others to take part in his play activities though at times these are also teacher-initiated, asking Sabien if he can let a certain classmate join him in play. Sabien is fond of sharing stories with classmates and even teachers. He does so in routines such as Snack Time and in Mecting Time, where he ias no apprehensions about shanng his experiences in front of the entire class. He can also follow-up on classmates' stories with his own related input. Sabien generally follows class rules, especially those cmphasized repeatedly in class, although he is still reminded from time to time. He is also vocal about his needs, as he tells his teachers when he needs help with tasks. Despite this, he tends to do most tasks with minimal assistance. It would be recommendable to challenge him in this aspect, giving him progressively harder tasks and responsibilities at home and in school. In the cognitive domain, Sabien quickly integrates new learning into his own ideas during class. He generally tries to do things by himself, with reference to the given instructions, later on asking for help when really needed. He is able to read common classroom words and signage, few times needing prompting with letter sounds. Sabien spcaks primarily in English, but does understand topics and conversations in Filipino. He frequently demonstrates his counting skill in class, having been observed to count up to 20 in both languages. Counting with one-to-one correspondence may still be further practiced, since Sabien sometimes counts more than the actual number in such activities as attendance check during Meeting Time. It is perhaps also recommendable to give Sabien more opportunities to speak in Filipino. But given the quick pace with which he picks up new concepts, Sabien would benefit from being allowed to explore many different activities. Sabien indeed shows how he is well-adjusted to the school setting. Whether in the presence of the teachers or with his classmates and peers from other classes, he seems very much capable of interacting and enjoying himself Prepared by: Lorenzo Miguel G.
