Read this anecdotal record and construct and fill in a Frequency Count on pro- and antisocial actions based on this recording. Follow the Frequency Count with a summary of the Frequency Count findings that you would file in each of the children’s portfolios

Question

03/8/XX Three-year-old room
Penny runs to sandbox carrying a tablespoon, empty orange juice can, and plastic teacup. She pushes Rene aside and intently begins to fill the can with sand, using spoon. She makes no comment to several other children around her. She picks up the can and dumps the sand on the floor outside the sandbox. Rene says, “Teacher, Penny spilled the sand.” Penny bangs the can down on sand, patting it flat, saying “Cake.” Rene comes around to Penny’s side. She reaches for the can and asks Penny, "Can I have this?” Penny pulls the can back and stands still, staring at Rene. Rene gives Penny measuring spoons, a bucket, and a sand mill. Penny smiles at Rene, Rene smiles back. Penny says, “I’m making a cake.” She takes a spoonful of sand and puts it on Rene’s hand. Rene takes can of sand and pours it on Penny’s head. “Teacher!” Penny yells. Rene hands juice can to Penny and walks away.

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

ANSWER: Look for correct Frequency Count techniques: date, columns for negative and positive contacts, lines for each of the children, tallies (these may differ between students because this is an inferential method), summaries are general with no names of what either child did to the other
