Anecdotal Record Reflective Analysis


1. What did I learn about the childs development from todays observation?
B uses her language, social and emotional skills as well as her gross
motor skills to talk and interact with others. She used her gross motor
and fine motor skills to drive the movable cars with her feet and to
steer it with her hands.

I need to focus on fine motor, cognitive, and a little more on social
emotional domains.

learning?
Can she draw pictures or write letters?
Can she count and what number can she count to?
