10:00-11:00
Free time: When I came into preschool, Meghan was working on a puzzle with one another girl. I went over and joined them. While working on this, she started to tell me how she could count. She counted to up to thirty for me! We finished the bug puzzle and then moved on to a block activity. We had different colored squares and had to make different patterns out them. Meghan seemed to have a very good grasp of this. She appears to be a spatial learner. While doing this, we talked about the shapes that we were making. One of the patterns was the message "hi". She was able to read this to me and make the letters.
After this, Meghan went over to blocks. She worked with a group of students, building a road and playing with little cars. She stayed here for quite a while. She then went to snack, where she spent the rest of free time.
Circle time: We started out circle time with a song. We had rhythm sticks, which we used along with the music. Meghan did a good job of keeping with the rhythm of the song. I couldn't tell if she enjoyed it or not, since she was very quiet during this. She usually does a good job of following along whenever we sing or do actions during circle time. I'm not sure if she's musically inclined, but she can definitely handle it.

Meghan- April 23rd
Who: Meghan
Where: St. Norbert College Children's Center
When: April 23rd 9:00-10:00
circle time:
Meghan sat still and payed attention as usual. She raised her hand two or three times and answered Ms. Bonnie's questions.
free time: Meghan went over to the computer right away. She played here for ten minutes. Then, we went to the writing table. She wrote her first, last, and middle name for me. We took some of the preschoolers names and worked on writing those. Meghan did very well at this. Her fine motor skills are well advanced and she seems to have a good grasp of her letters. After this, she went over to snack. She stayed here for a while, talking with her friends. Then, Meghan went to the reading area. Three other girls were sitting there. Two were pretending to be the teachers and were "reading" the books to the other girl. Meghan joined them and sat on the floor, listening. She stayed here for the rest of the time. All of the girls seemed to be enjoying themselves quite a lot. Meghan was very attentive to the girl reading the book. She went along with the game and was very interested.
I can tell that she loves to be around her friends, just by looking at the centers that she chooses. She spends a lot of time at the blocks area, snack, or the writing table.

Meghan- April 20th
Who: Meghan
Where: St. Norbert College Children's Center
When: 10:00-11:00
During circle time Meghan was her usual, attentive self. She was very quiet and well behaved.
Once circle time was over she went over to the art table. She worked on the activity for a while, talking to her friends. I had her sample using a scissors for me, to test her fine motor skills. She did very well at this. After this, she went to snack. She stayed here for a while. I asked her about her trip to Georgia and she told all about the things that she did. I noticed that she did a very good job at communicating. She described specific stories and events.
After staying at snack for a while Meghan went over to blocks. There were already three boys there, each working on a separate thing. Meghan came and got them all to join together. Then, they all worked together to build one big bridge and road. I could see Meghan talking to her classmates and cooperating with them.
