Journal 12

The child has made the most progress in using her fine motor skills.  She is able to hold crayons with her fingers instead of her whole hand. 

The activity the child enjoys the most is listening to music and dancing.  She always asks to sing songs.  She always listens carefully and tries to learn the words so she can sing along.

The child is most excited and attentive when do group time.  She always sits, listens, and participates.

The best form of redirection for this child is to distract her.  Usually when I introduce her to a new area or give her something else to do she quickly forgets what she was doing. 

One objective the family could work on at home with this child is to help her distinguish colors.  She still gets confused often which is age-appropriate but it is something that could be worked on at home.

I remember information best when I see it.  To reach parents who are visual I could create a family bulletin board with information posted at eye-level.  I could also send emails so they have a copy of the information.  To reach parents who are auditory I would have to be sure to remember to tell them when they arrive or when they are leaving the building.  I could also tell the classroom teacher to help remind them verbally.  To reach kinesthetic parents I would pass out flyers so that they had their own copy.

!HEALTH ALERT!

 

 

Dear Sunnyside Parents,

We have had several cases of Conjunctivitis, also known as Pink Eye, in our center. 

 

How do I know if my child has Conjunctivitis?

Pink Eye can cause discharge from the eye, itching, and the white part of the eye becomes pink. The disease can take up to three days to develop after exposure. 

 

How does Conjunctivitis spread?
The disease is spread by direct contact.  If another child has rubbed their eye and touches something, your child could have touched it also!

What do I do if my child has Pink Eye?
If your child has Pink Eye they will need to see a doctor.  Your doctor will provide you with medicine for your child's eye.  Wash your hands frequently to prevent spreading the infection further. 

When can my child return to school?
Your child may return if you have received a doctor's note saying they are not contagious.  OR, when your child has been on antibiotic treatment for 24 hours.

Please see me if you have further questions or concerns.

Sunnyside CDC.
