OREO the egg…… and Black Nose
This week in Jack’s class they are on the unit of Pets. This unit is to help Jack and his mates understand the concept of responsibility----hence “my pet egg day.”
So the assignment was to create a home for his hard boiled egg. He would have to care for it the entire day. Take it to snack time, lunch, recess, Germany/English class and PE. Wow pretty big responsibility for the big man.
He came home from school and worked on “Oreo’s” home all afternoon. I happened to have an Oreo box in the paper bin so I thought this would make an excellent home for her. He wanted her to be looking out of her window and see the city, a soft bed and a pink flag because she had just won a race—what an amazing imagination.
So being the very proud Jack, he took Oreo’s home in to school and introduced her to it. Upon picking him up from school—she had several band-aids and was missing most of her shell. Jack was skipping with her to snack and dropped her on the floor!!!!!! He told me he learned that skipping with a pet is probably not such a great idea as he took her outside and smashed the rest of her shell off…….
Black Nose….Believe it or not she has been in his life for three and half years and has never left his side. Becky Kehoe gave Black Nose to Jack on the day Stella was born. She travels with us where ever we go!! Well in keeping with the theme of “Pet Week” Jack got to bring Black Nose to school. He got to take her and show her off to all of his mates---way excited!!!!!
Oh how fun to be five again!!!
Love to all-
