Which term refers to a teacher-written observation of a child to evaluate the child's overall development?

• A. Supervision
• B. Toys
• C. Child Records
• D. Emergency

Answer: (C)

Documenting a child’s development over time in written form is what we call child records. This approach captures notes from observations, along with checklists and samples of a child’s work, to build a holistic view of growth across domains like physical, cognitive, language, and social-emotional development. By keeping these records, teachers can notice strengths, track progress, and plan activities that support the child’s ongoing learning. The other terms describe something different: supervision is about watching children for safety, toys are play materials, and emergency refers to urgent, unsafe situations.
