Jack's Special Friend

Today Jasmine helped Jack do a puzzle.  When they finished she read him a book.  Whenever other children came over, Jack would gently push them away.  He wanted to be alone with his new special friend.

Dancing Jack

In class time, we do lots of dancing.  There is one song, called "Everybody Dance Now," that Jack absolutely loves.  He starts giggling away and grins from ear to ear.  Look at him dance.

Reading with Mrs O'Donnell

Jack was very excited when Mrs O'Donnell read the class a story.  He sat up on her knee and giggled lots.

Math Puzzles

Today Jack learnt to use two new math puzzles.  He had a lot of fun building the castle and creating people.  This is helping Jack to develop his hand eye coordination and fine motor skills.

Jack the Gardener

Thank you Jack for helping us do the gardening.  You were great at helping pull out the weeds and turning the soil.  I hope you will enjoy help water the garden, so the plants grow up nice and strong.

Happy Helper

Jack enjoyed being the 'Happy Helper.'  He really liked being able to sit on the cane chair.  Jack was a fantastic role model sitting very still.  He even helped mark the class roll. 

Jolly Jacks Amazing Week

 I traced my letters with Mrs Stace. 

J is for jigsaw and for Jack.

I wrote lots of words using magnetic letters. 

I also pointed to the words when I was asked.

 I sat still during silent reading with Vanessa. 

She read me lots of fun stories. 

I love listening to stories.

I am learning to read with Mrs C.  Today I pointed to the words and turned the pages really quickly. 

 I like using my new peg board.  Today I lined all the pegs along the outside of the tray. 

I also like to play wirh Mrs C's necklaces.  I laughed lots and lots when Vanessa made me wear one.

Sharing Time

Wow!  Jack sat on the mat for a long time today while the children shared their toys from home.  Thank you Jack for sharing about your wonderful visit to Te Manawa.  It must have been really fun to read Hairy Maclary on the iPad.



My Lovely Helper Mrs Stace

Today was the first day Mrs Stace helped Jack.  He worked very hard.  Thank you Mrs Stace for playing the animal matching game with me again and helping me colour in my title page.

Mat Time

Today I sat on the mat all by myself and listened to Mrs Christiansen read a big book.  It is a very funny book about a lady dressed like a bee.  A silly bumblebee followed her all day long.

Matching Animals

Today I carefully matched pictures of the same animals together.  I worked very hard.  It was lots of fun!

Swimming

Jack loves swimming in the pool. 

Brrr ... it was a bit cold today though.
