Nate's Report Card - term 4, 2008

Class : Hedgehogs, Height 106.5 cm, Weight 18kgs, right hand dominance

Social & Emotional Development and Independence
Nate is an independent and self confident little boy but can be defiant or cheeky on occassion. I have found that firm boundaries have helped with these new behavior patterns.

Gross Motor Development
Nate is well balanced, agile with good ball skills, his motor skills are well coordinated and he is very energetic. His upper body strenghth has also improved and Nate can now swing on the monkey bars and the climbing ropes.

Fine Motor Development
Nate's pencil grip has become firm this year, he has learnt to hold it correctly and copy simple writing patterns with few mistakes. Nate handles scissors with a strong grip. He can cut out on a curved line and a straight line.

Language Development
Nate is a well spoke little boy, his vocabulary grows daily, he uses correct sentence construction and the right grammar. Nate seldom mispronounces words. He is able to listen to instruction but can become distracted and will therefore not carry it out correctly.

Intellectual Development
nate can recall 5 objects that have been hidden. He knows how to touch count up to twenty and do simple mental arithmetic up to three. His attention span is adequate but he can be distracted by peers or his environment.

Perceptual Development
Nate is able to build a 36 piece puzzle but must keep up the practice. He can copy four color patterns on a pegboard and sequence on the geostacks. Nate can name all appropriate shapes, colors, body parts and their functions.

General Comments
Nate is playful, imaginative little boy who is easily excitable. It is this energy that I will miss next year.

Candice Strachan, next year's class is the Leopards

Principal's Comments
Nate has spent a very productive year in teh Hedgehog class and has reason to be proud of himself.
