OUR FIRST DAYS IN KINDERGARTEN - DIARY
Gradually, a child forms independence, explores the environment and finds new stimulations. We create the best
transition from the family environment to the preschool way of life. We follow a child s adaptation to the kindergarten by
keeping records of different phases of development. We record every change and stage of development which makes it
easier for all of us to follow. We also draw conclusions about a child s progress which helps us create new stages of the
education process.
This is one of many examples of monitoring a child s adaptation, from social and emotional aspects in this case.
Elements of monitoring a child:
•
Presence of extreme emotions and behavior (crying, anger, aggression, refusal of communication...)
•
Involvement during play (alone, initializes the game, plays independently, plays parallel games, interaction with
others during play)
•
Communicates with peers (nonverbally , verbally)
•
Communicates with teachers (nonverbally , verbally)
•
Independency in every day life activities (still dependent, becoming independent with the help of a teacher
independent)
•
Follows the rules of the group (partially, completely)
•
Teachers / observations, actions , feelings, new methodological
approaches
•
Parents / actions, statements, feelings
•
Final observations (first month of adaptation , second...)
