As George explores, he is beginning to talk about the results of his explorations. When encouraged or prompted by a teacher, he is beginning to ask meaningful questions in relation to the activity. When faced with a task that is challenging for him he is now persisting for longer periods of time, rather than giving up in the early stages of the activity.

Valery has had a great school year. She has progressed and grown immensely since the beginning of the school year because she values learning.
