First day of school

Jacob-

Yesterday was your first day of school at Eagle! You and your brother looked so handsome in your uniforms. You were so nervous about starting. You did not want to go to school because it was not at LIFE and you did not have Ms Lori, Ms Erika, and Ms Dar! I am sorry that you were so upset about it all. But I promise this school will be just as good.

Yesterday when we got there you were a little upset that there was a girl sitting next to you. But I promise it won't be that bad. You will come to not be so scared of the girls. When you got home you told me that you had such a good day. And that it wasn't so scary at all.

I got an email from your teacher and here is what it says…

Hi Britney,

I just wanted to let you know how today went for Jacob.  Overall, I was very pleased.  The morning was a little difficult.  Jacob was very eager to answer questions, and quite often, forgot to raise his hand or wait his turn.  However, after a quick reminder, he self-corrected his behavior.  The afternoon was great!  Jacob was very attentive and had very few interruptions; although he looked quite tired!  He also did great socializing with his peers.  During indoor recess, he played a matching game (that he loved!) with a few other boys.   As a whole, I felt Jacob had a good day!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!
Rachael Bergman

 

I am so glad that you did well. It was expected that you had a rough morning because you were just getting used to the school. But so far so good! I really hope that today is a better day for you. You really wanted to go back to school today so I know that you had a good time. You had PE yesterday and loved it!! The PE teacher even knows who you are! So he must really like you. You are special you get to have 2 teachers. Ms Hansen is your special ed teacher. She gets to help you when you start to feel nervous or when you get upset or feel that you can't do your work. She is right across the hall so it's easy for you to get to her class. She also is going to help you make some new friends. I know you want to have friends so bad so I am excited for you to start making friends and to start loving school. I love you buddy and I hope this year is great for you!

Love, Mommy

Summer!

Hey buddy. Sorry I didn't write how the summer went. Summer is now over but I will still write how the summer went.

You had a very good summer!! It was full of fun and playing and lots of swimming. When we moved you had to leave LIFE and not have therapy. But after a month I realized that you still needed therapy. So we worked something out with LIFE that we would go on one day and you would have a few therapies on that day. So Monday was your therapy day. We also took advantage of the summer movie program at Harkins Theaters. And Wednesday was our movie day. It was a lot of fun. We saw some good movies that you loved. We also went and saw toy story 3. You really liked that movie too. So did your brother. We went swimming lots here in the pool by us. We also went swimming with your lomu cousins a few times at the pool in Mesa.

I hope you had fun this summer. I know that I sure did, even though I was sun burnt a lot of it!!

 

Love ya buddy!

Mommy
