Annika (Annie): Female
A. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CHILD:
1. Annie was approximately 3 ½ feet and came up to my waist. Annie was within the normal height range.
2. She seemed to be of similar weight to other children in her “class” or age group. She was not chunky or bony, but slim with normal, symmetrical body features.
3. A unique physical characteristic that I could use to describe Annie as a preschooler is her ability to write her name at a young age. Secondly, I could also identify Annie as a preschooler by the type of play she associates herself with.

She spoke a little bit of Spanish to her instructor.

I would definitely rate her articulation as a 5. Compared to the other children at the facility, Annie had very clear and coherent language development.
3. Annie would speak in sentences of medium length. They were not short but they were not well-thought out paragraphs either. Her ability to communicate was very strong compared to the other
