Evaluation of Learning Plan
September - December

Bobby has made great progress this term and
will participate in the daily routine of lunch. He

is increasingly engaged with the environment
and continues to use the resources with great

imagination, creativity and resourcefulness.
Bobby will approach adults for help and will ask
“What’s this?” To label unfamiliar items, this has

increased his vocabulary and decreased his
frustration.
