11. DIAGNOSTICO INICIAL DEL GRUPO Ciclo Escolar 2009-2010: MATERNAL “B” Inicié el ciclo escolar con un grupo de 21 alumnos, entre los 2 años y los 2 años - 8 meses, 11 varones y 10 mujercitas. 14 alumnos usan pañal, y 6 no hablan (solo dicen mamá, si y no). La primer semana asistieron en medios tiempos para ayudarles a la adaptación, muchos lloraron pero a la media hora dejaron de llorar y solo lo hacían en intervalos esporádicos, pero tenemos 3 alumnos que no paraban de llorar en todo su horario. La siguiente semana asistieron turno completo de 8 a 1:00 pm. Varios alumnos se estaban durmiendo después de las 12:00 pero poco a poco se están acostumbrando al nuevo horario. El período de adaptación se a extendido un poco, ya que es muy difícil lograr su atención como grupo, he tenido períodos de clase de 15 minutos como máximo, varias veces al día. A la hora del lonche me he dado cuenta que un gran porcentaje de los alumnos son totalmente dependientes, no logran abrir la mochila, ni sacar sus cosas, ni siquiera de darle la mordida a la comida o llevarse el jugo a la boca. Trabajaremos arduamente en lograr su independencia en las cosas básicas para lograr poco a poco su autonomía.
