Today I went to the children's center and observed Jack again. I observed him getting a story read to him about vegetables. He listened to the story and when asked a question he would answer. He was also able to use picture clues to identify what vegetables were in the pictures even though he could not read the words. He is also my reading buddy for EDUC 350 so I have noticed through this that he is very good at using pictures to tell what is going on in the story. I have also noticed throug observing him every tuesday for this class that he is aware of what is going on around him. He is always curious about the activities that the other children are doing. He is able to create his own story through looking at pictures and it ends up being very similar to what the words say. Later today I watched him play in the sensory table with the bugs. He told me which bugs could fly and which ones couldn't. He pointed out that they could fly because they had wings. He was burying them in the sand and using other bugs with claws or pincher's to dig them up. He was very engaged in this and told me that he liked bugs and that he finds them outside sometimes. Like worms or spiders in the dirt or just flys, bees, and butterflies flying around outside
