100/100 Excellent work!

Comments: REMEMBER: this assignment is required for the CHDV210 portfolio. If you plan on taking additional child development courses (WHICH I

REALLY HOPE YOU DO!), please save this assignment (with all instructor comments in a safe place). Save the actual graded assignment & the grading rubric. For CHDV 210 you will be asked to build upon the knowledge you currently have. As you take additional classes, you will want to think about how new concepts might apply and how your action plan changes. In future observations (there are MANY in child development), please practice reporting your findings in ways that are objective. Your writing skills are good Well done!
