Hello, I have a form that I have to give back to the childcare this arvie (they gave it to me this morning) and I have to:-
"Provide us with the developmental goals you would like your child to accomplish throughout the first semester. These goals will help form the basis of the program for the room and your child."
Ummm.. what? LOL
I don't really know what to put!! :lol: he's in the junior kindy room (he is 26 months old)
Sooo... advice please!!
Writing his name, tying shoelaces, I dunno ...
Roast dinners, vacuuming... doing a load of MCN's.
i put on ours for this semester that i'd like for DD to form more sentences, more colour recignition a start to the ABC and extended counting (she can count to 20 IF she REALLY wants too lol)
If there's an area u want improvement with then tell them, if u want more manners or helping out around the house with picking up toys.
Help that helps a bit
arghhhhhhh i hate forms that make you think :(
i wuld put things like
umm.............
saying please, thank and excuse me etc ( mel i have no idea where you bubs is at so thses are just egs )
share toys
hth but prob not LOL
things like letter and number recognition, motor skills, anything you think he could work on, or be extended in. Play is also a good one, imaginitive play, climbing (coordination) etc. even things like helping set the table at lunch time, that sort of thing.
thorough understanding of quantum mechanics
lol i really dont knwo hun, tricky one!
PMSL @ the jokesters.. thanks guys..
Hmmm.. yes... I think i should put down on it that he needs to say SORRY more often.. :p
I'll steal some ideas.. he can count to five, then says eight.. so can probably work on that.. and he knows A B and C.. but doesnt' get any further than that.
Shanks guys!
i filled mine out last week, and i got stumped on the
'tell us something that you love about your child that we should know?'
and i was like, wait, i love EVERYTHING about my child, so i just left it blank
I have no idea but I worked in a ccc for 3 years and had no idea that they asked these kinds of questions. lol. what do you love about your child? :wtf: thats a pretty stupid question IMO.
anyway. just had to say something. I was so shocked lol.
good luck with your forms. :)
Id just put Id like DS social skills to develop in a completely self lead way so that he can discover his social boundaries within his own time frame.
But thats just me :redface:
For his age group, put things like seperating without anxiety, taking turns, begin making friendships with others. For later in the year as he gets older, things like recognising his own name (written), looking after his own belongings (bag lunchbox etc).
I put things like, playing independently (cos he still has trouble with that), the ABC (he can recognise up to C at the moment), and learning his numbers better, saying SORRY when he's done something naughty.
Definitely should have put something like the separation anxiety thing cos he still screams when we drop him off. DOH!
Good work on the ABC recognition- that's ace for his age!
I send out forms like this at work all the time- more than anything it's because we need to show that we're involving parents in goal-setting for the child. So if you *did* return a form to me saying "thorough understanding of quantum mechanics" I would have a laugh, and probably go and hug your child. So don't take them too seriously!
I'm currently re-vamping ours, so that it says "What are your goals for your child?" I think it's nice and open-ended, and gets a huge variety of responses, some short term, like ABC recognition, some long term, like making a contribution to society.
Oh, it's fun and games. Good luck with your goals for The Big A!
