Component 1------ Child and Setting Profile

A. Describe Child
NV is an African American male. NV is five years and nine months old.
He is 383 inches and he weighs about 54 pounds.
NV appears to be very smart and nice young man. He enjoys playing
with other children in his class sometime. NV tells me that he is the
only child so he gets what he wants from his mother and father. NV has
problem following simple directions from the teacher. NV also struggles
sitting with other children during circle time. But overall he can do the
work if he just stays focus.
NV needs more attention on his academics at home just not at school.
NV needs to be around other children his age so that he knows how to
play and communicate with other children. He also needs support from
his parents on how following simple directions is so important in
everyday life.

Component 2 ----- Childs Developmental Characteristics

A. Strategies and tools used
1. Anecdotal Records

I used these records to help me remember what I saw and what

needed to look for while observing NV for my case study project.
2. Checklist
I used the five year old checklist to see if NV was where he
needed to far as his developmental milestones.
3. Work Samples
NV work samples lets me know how he performs far as doing
work in the class.

Component 3
----- Learning
outcomes

The child will increase his listening

paying attention to the words that are
said.

Standards
ELA -3K-3.2 Comprehend changes in forms of familiar words
ELA- 4K-3.3 Display curiosity and interest in learning new words.
WHY: I saw the teacher tell NV to do something, he leaves the circle to
go do it, then gets to his desk and has no clue what was said to him.
NV puts his hand up and ask what he was supposed to be doing. Then
he would hear Mrs. Rogers say a word that he hasnt heard before and
he would ask her how to spell it, so when he heard or saw the word
again he knew what it was.

2. The child will control his conversation with other children.

Standards
AL-3K-5.1 Talk about prior events and personal experiences.
AL-3K- 5.2 Use prior knowledge to understand new experiences.
WHY: I saw when Mrs. Fone put the children in small groups he would never
complete his work because he was talking about things to relate to
something the teacher had already talked about. He also had to be
separated from a friend of his because he they would get together and talk
about what they parents had done the last time they were together out of
school.

Component 4-------Action Plan

Setting
Small Group

Strategy Description/ Materials

Think, Pair, share

Have students work with a partner.

Tell the one student something to tell there partner, after they have
told the partner what was said it the partner job to come tell the
teacher what was said and to find a word that was said to them on the
talk. So if they have it all wrong it want be a word on the table for them
to get.

Development and Learning Promoted

This would let NV know that he has to use his listening skills to get this
activity done with his partner. NV would be more engaged because it would
allow him the time to get to work with the other students. NV would learn the
values of teamwork. It would also increase NV cognitive abilities and
improve his communication skills with other students.

Setting
Meals/snack

Strategy Description/ Materials

Set the table
I would set a table for NV and 4 of his friends and allow them to sit together
during snack time. I would even let NV pass the snacks out at his table.

Development and Learning Promoted

NV will get to see and feel how it is when he does the right thing and get the
permission to sit with his friends and talk about something other than school
work. This may I start to improve some of his behavior problem to get to sit
with his friends when he is on good behavior.

Setting
Transition

Strategy Description/ Materials

I would make word wall lines around the classroom only using the words that
NV and other students struggle with. For NV to move from his desk to the
Performance Board I will hold up words for him to say and as say them he will
be reading the words to me.

Development and Learning Promoted

This would allow NV to pay attention to me not whats going on around him
or him trying to distract another student. This would also help him with
words that he is struggling to read and or recognize.

Setting
Outside Time

Strategy Description/Martials
FREE TIME FOR NV!!!!

Development and Learning Promoted

This free outside time will give NV some time to play and commutate with
friends he cant talk to while in class. After this free time it would maybe
allow NV to pay attention the rest of the day since he got all the play and
conversation out with his friends. It would also allow NV to get out of his
corner desk that he is all day long if he is not asked to move.
