July/August 2014

Teacher: Bushra Afreen

Baraa, I have seen you pulling yourself up
by the table and the chairs a lot this month.

You showed me how confident you were

by having big smiles on your face after you

pulled yourself up. Sometimes when I put

you down on the floor, you prefer to stand

up instead of sitting which showed me

your interest in practicing your gross
motor skills. You have figured it out how to

get back down on the floor again, which

was also great to see you developing your
problem solving skills.

Where to from here:

I will keep encouraging Baraa to pull
himrself up by placing him near the
furniture and the metal bars. I will also

build up Baraas confidence by giving

him lots of praises.
