Physical Education
- The 1-year-old student has developed basic hand-eye coordination by focusing on rolling the ball towards a target or in a specific direction.
- The activity has helped improve the child's gross motor skills as they engage in reaching, grasping, and rolling the ball, promoting physical movement.
- Through the rolling ball activity, the student has learned spatial awareness as they navigate the ball around obstacles or towards a designated area.
For continued development, consider introducing variations of the rolling ball activity such as rolling the ball through tunnels or incorporating different sizes and textures of balls to further enhance sensory exploration and motor skills development in young children.
