Jacob last week had his turn for the spotlight at school. Every week a child is picked to bring in some pictures of them as a baby and their family and stuff. They are also asked to bring in some family members to talk about them. The family members can also play a game with the kids, or read them a story. Pretty much what ever they like. You are given a half hour to talk about your child. Well we all went as a family for Jacob's spotlight. We made a poster of things about Jacob. We had things from what activities he likes to do to pictures of him with his cousins. We also added some crayons and paper on the poster because of how much he loves to draw. We played the name game with the kids. It's the game where you come up with the name of a famous or well known person and then you write it on a piece of paper. Well somebody reads all the names and then you guess which name everybody picked. We tweaked it a little bit so it was easier for a bunch of 5 year old to play. It was really fun. The kids enjoyed it. We played this game all Thanksgiving week and so Jacob wanted us to play it with his class. We also brought a book of Jacob's. Jacob doesn't have a favorite book so he just picked one that he likes to read. The book Jacob picked was "click clack Moo cows that type." Jacob was the one that read it to his class. Jacob loves to read and so we thought that it be appropriate for him to read it. We had so much fun in his classroom and he enjoyed having us their. When we left we gave the teacher little boxes of crayons and dum dum suckers to hand out to each of the kids. Crayons because of how much Jacob loves to draw and then suckers because every kid loves candy. Oh yah by the way Jacob was finally tested in his reading and he reads middle of the year 2nd grade. We are so proud of him. He is getting books from the library at his reading level and his teacher is giving him books to come and with and read and other things for him to do to help him improve. We are happy about that. We sure are proud of our little Jacob.
