Running Record
Introduction for running record:
 Describe in detail
There are about 21 students in the classroom and I would be observing 3-4 yrs. old
children who are busy playing and doing different activities. My focus is to study their
emotional, social, physical and cognitive development.
Observation:
 For 6-7 minutes use the running record to document your observation.
Tom is learning how to writing the letter V and take helps of his friend and asks “How do
you write that?” and said “I tried to make it but it’s not working.” He participates actively and
makes his own decisions at times. When his teacher wants him to come back to the table, he says
“Why? I like here.” When asked a question, he raises his hand and said “elephant has big nose.”
The teacher is pleased with his answers.
Richard follows the instructions of his teacher and starts putting back those wooden
sticks. He lines up to get his quietly and loves to slide down the slide and climb on the little stairs
case
Analysis:
Both the children are active and inquisitive and pursue their interests with everyday
choices and decisions. They are active learners and express their choice in short sentences.
Reflection:
The children can benefit more with associative and cooperative play with establish rules.
That will help them to engages with other children and make choices within the set game play.

SOCIOLOGY 3
Anecdote
Observation:
 cognitive development
Tom participates in the class activities and responds to the teacher’s instructions. He is
anxious when he is not able to write the small letter of V and seeks the help of the teacher and
other students.
 fine motor skills
Richard puts back those wooden sticks into the box. He quickly stands in line to get his
jacket and can slide down the slide through the little hole as well as from little stairs case. He
feels confident that he can slide down with a truck on his hand but is checked by the teacher.
 language
Tom has a good command over his language and said, “elephant has big nose” and asks
his classmates, “How do you write that?” and when he is not able to do so, he says, “I tried to
make it, but it’s not working.”
Analysis:
The children show satisfactory progress in the development of cognitive, language, and
fine motor skills. They feel free to ask questions to solve problems with the help of peers or
teachers. They show impressive coordination, speed, and endurance and jump and hop without
any difficulty. They can express their moods through the movement and work together in shared
activities.
