Infant Room Progress Report

Jacob will be moving to the Jr. Toddler room next week!  He can't wait to be with the big-ger kids!  Here is his progress report:

Jacob is a very lovable, curious, cute and playful little character.  He has matured very quickly in a short period of time in the infant room.  Jacob is a little man who enjoys exploring his surroundings and sometimes gets into mischief by climbing onto the tables!  Jacob enjoys participating in our music classes with Kayla. 

In the area of self help, Jacob's fine motor skills have enhanced as he uses a spoon well at mealtimes.  He can also seat himself at the table and is ready to eat!!  Jacob is very sociable and enjoys interacting with others including parents and staff.  He often gives hugs and kisses to everyone throughout the day.

Jacob's language skills have progressed at a steady pace.  He tries to repeat simple words said by teachers, i.e. all done, more, up, down.  He can repeat some animal sounds such as a dog, sheep, a cow.  Jacob is able to follow through 2-3 step directions, he understands instuctions very well.  Good job Jacob!

Emotionally, Jacob tends to take awhile to settle down after crying; usually during and at routine times (after diaper changes and sleep time) and can be a bit persistent at times!

Goals:
1) To strengthen Jacob's gross motor muscles by providing him with riding toys, games such as catch me or ring around the rosie.
2) To further expand his vocabulary thorugh daily conversations, circle time stories and flash card pictures.
3) To encourage Jacob to put his hat/coat in his cubby during cloakroom time.

We wish Jacob the best of luck as he transitions to the Jr. Toddler room!  We will miss you Jacob!
