忽然间，乐乐就长大了。

好像过了那个讲不清楚道理，没事就在地上打滚，半夜醒来嚎啕大哭的年纪了。

她变得更加通情达理了，很多道理，虽然似懂非懂，都可以表示接受了。

如厕训练很快就见曙光了。

她语言更加丰富了，可以表达自己，就减少了发脾气的需要。她还经常把我们说过的句子变成问句。妈妈说，“明天我们去皮皮哥哥生日聚会。”她问，“明天我们去皮皮哥哥生日聚会吗? yes? no ? yes?”

她经常说“谢谢”和“对不起”。爸爸说，“乐乐，妈妈今天给我们做了好多菜。”她马上说，“谢谢妈妈。” 妈妈说，“呀，乐乐，你看妈妈袜子有个洞。”她充满歉意地说，“Sorry，妈妈。” 就好像是她把袜子戳了洞似的。当然在礼貌的背后掩藏着霸道 - 随便抢妹妹手里的东西，去叮当家里玩还抢叮当手里的东西!

她还经常说，“我喜欢爸爸妈妈姥姥姥爷”。我问那妹妹呢? 她说，“也喜欢妹妹”。言语之间，让我感觉到她是一个沐浴在爱里的小孩，在这个“爱”里，她过得很滋润，很安全，很满足 -- 所以比较听话了?

来看看老师怎么说得吧。从春天开始都是乐爸骑车去接乐乐，所以我和老师接触的机会就很少了。不过乐乐最近半年的学校生活过得很快乐，我还是满放心的，另外9月份我们就转学了。乐乐学校半年一次家长会，每次半个小时，和老师一对一的。我和乐爸一起去家长会。照片过后是老师记录。

老师为家长会准备的记录-->

Social/Emotional

Ella is an expressive toddler at age 2 years and 8 months.  She has moved from parallel play to associative play and also engages in cooperative play such as “Ring Around the Rosey” and joins in many familiar nursery rhymes and songs such as “Tingalayo” and “My Car Goes Beep…” She also expresses her ownership through verbal scolding.  For instance, “I don’t like that” in replace of physical communication.  Ella had limited falling on the floor and getting upset with her peers.

Gross Motor

Ella hops with two feet multiple times and walks around the wooden beam with full balance.  Ella walks backwards when asked too.  She has also started to ride on a tricycle and has begun pedaling steadily around the yard.  Ella likes to push the mega trucks across the room and yard, as well as climbing on the step-stools to watch the trains go by from the window.

Fine Motor

Ella is able to build a tower of 9 small wooden cubes, make a train of cubes and build a bridge using 3 cubes.  She can construct buildings with duplos, string a necklace of picture beads with some assistance and place pumpkin head pegs into a peg board.  When using writing utensils, or paint brush she is more dominant in her right hand.

Cognitive

Ella understands differences in sizes “big” and “small”.  She names 7 or more body parts, sorts and places colored objects in the correct place (example: colored bears), identifies familiar items and objects and follows three part directions.  She loves “reading” books in the library area and she shows an enthusiasm for learning and discovery. 

Language (receptive and Expressive)

Ella has increased her vocabulary in the area of language and communication. She now expresses her wants and needs without any hesitation. Ella completes full sentences and her articulation of words is almost perfect.  The teachers understand when she wants or needs a specific item. She enjoys spending time in our library area reading books.  She also  enjoys listening to stories and answering open-ended questions when asked by staff.  Ella only uses the English language in the classroom. 

Self-Help

Ella is very independent; she takes great pride in accomplishing things for herself and helping others.  She loves to assist in “classroom jobs”.  During meals, Ella uses her utensils, throws out waste and washes her hands at the sink.  She removes and puts on clothing/shoes with little assistance.  Ella has begun to show interest in toileting and is now eager to sit on the potty.  She will sometimes use it, but staff still praise her for trying.

Room for growth

I.     Peer interactions/Social interactions

II.    Continue with toilet learning

III.   Enhancing fine motor skills

Resolved goals

I.     Parents and staff will continue with toilet learning, using positive reinforcements: verbal praises/stickers

II.    Parents and staff will provide a variety of fine motor activities: building toys, puzzles, stringing beads, markers, model magic, paints, play dough, crayons toddler scissors.
