Who said anything about sitting and taking notes?  You pick three or four kids to make notes on--doesn't take a minute to say that "Josie is playing by herself--seems happy."  "Johnny is getting a little rough with Mike--had to step in. Mike was upset."    "Sissy is watching others play. Not trying to join in."

This isn't like a specialist coming in and sitting in the back of your classroom and making detailed notes about behavior of one student.  It is just being sure that you aren't ignoring problems.  Of course, you always pay attention to the behavior problems--too rough, etc.  This is just to be sure that you aren't ignoring the ones that are left out.  It also helps to know how many times you have to step in on the rough ones before you contact the parents.

Most of the time, the notes are just "Susie and Mary jumping rope together."  "Henry and Joe are playing soccer."

I’ve never heard of teachers doing this. And I still don’t want notes about my kid. Let alone something in their file.[/quote]

As a HS teacher, I agree.  ES teachers shouldn’t do this.  It’s creepy; they aren’t trained to do it; and kids could shouldn’t have a psychosocial “profile” in their file that follows them to the upper grades.[/quote]
