Elliet Case Study
Current Understandings:
Elliet is a kind and loyal friend to many of her peers. Her positive attitude, sense of humour and imagination significantly contributes to our class environment. Elliet has shown progress in many areas of her own learning. She has gained skills and confidence to express her ideas on paper and really looks forward to these learning activities. By questioning ideas and sharing thoughtful discussion, Elliet shows engagement in our group project work. In a large group, she always plays fairly, shares and demonstrates confidence to express her feelings clearly when problem-solving. Elliet follows the daily routines, classroom rules and has grown to take responsibility of her own belongings.
Elliet enjoys listening and sharing stories. She clearly and confidently makes connections to and shares personal experiences and family traditions related to oral stories, print and other texts. Elliet is beginning to use prediction skills when stories are read aloud. Elliet is able to independently write her name and is able to identify letters of the alphabet. She is able to identify almost half of the letter’s sounds and is working on finding words that start with the letter to help her find the letter’s sound. She is also able to identify half of the lowercase letters. Elliet has showed significant improvement in visually representing her ideas, feeling and …show more content…
stories in our group story writing and her individual journal work. She is working on adding details using different shape and line to add depth to her ideas.
When problem solving, Elliet is able to directly compare objects found in the environment based on their size, weight and length.
Elliet has demonstrated that she is able to sort a set of objects based on a single attribute and is developing clarity when explaining the sorting rule. When given a new sorting rule, she is able to re-sort a group. She understands, identifies and creates her own repeating patterns using different types of manipulatives. Elliet is developing her skill to describe characteristics of 2-D and 3-D shapes and is expanding her skills in visually representing these
shapes.
Elliet becomes aware of the five senses and how they are used to explore, investigate and describe the world when in sit spot and travelling in the outdoors. She cares for animals, insects and is a keen observer in the changes of the environment. She understands the importance of protecting the environment as well. Elliot enjoys and always participates in group yoga and breathing exercises demonstrating her skills to quiet and calm herself. She contributes her own knowledge of mindful movement as well. Elliet has strong locomotor skills of climbing, walking, lifting, and jumping. She is able to identify unsafe situations and safety rules for protection.
Elliet has become an eager and talented visual artist. She truly enjoys expressing her ideas through drawing and painting. She enjoyed mixing colours for her journal cover and excelled on her cover drawing. She demonstrated unique ideas and skill to manipulate clay to make different ladybug playgrounds. Elliet has shown great improvement at visually representing her ideas and stories with different shapes and lines. She adds great detail and when she takes her time, is able to add colour neatly and clearly. Elliet engaged in dramatic/creative play and has grown confidence to contribute to our class’s songs and dances.
Future Growth:
We will continue to help Elliet foster her growing interest to write and draw. She is encouraged to practice her representational drawing by focusing on the shapes that are involved in her picture (once her ideas are broken down more simply, she is able to see she is capable and gains more confidence to continue!) She is encouraged to take her time to complete her best work as she knows that when she is careful, she shows much more pride in the outcome. Elliet is encouraged to practice the sounds associated with letters by using a corresponding word that begins with that letter (i.e. the word nut starts with “nuh” sound, starting with the letter N vs. the letter N makes an “eh” sound).
