3A1 Recognize that skills will develop over time with appropriate practice and us of the
correct cues
Objective: Proficient In Process Needs Development
Show basic motor skills,
using imitation, as a
means for motor skill
improvement
Student is observed engaging in a
variety of coordinated large
muscle and small muscle
movements when playing at
centers (Ex: walking from center
to center, moving around tables
without bumping into them, sitting,
dancing, bending, reaching, etc.).

some adult assistance to carry
heavy objects, push open doors,
remove lids from markers, and
push together and pull apart
